Battery drain and alternator not charging on 1.4 petrol AUA

Thanks for the link Andy.

I think I’m going to have a lead made up and fit it to the correct earth (providing the original bolt hasn’t been sheared off- which seems to be a common occurrence).

It looks like the ends are M8 stud and M8 bolt - can anyone confirm please?!
Out of interest the earth strap is still available from Audi for about £30, possibly a little cheaper at Crewe Audi through the forum rather than your local Audi. Ask Tom at Crewe Audi for a quote if interested. Alternatively generic earth straps on eBay for under a fiver but you would have to confirm length.

As to your question, 7zap confirms both M8 but it is very occasionally incorrect.


Makes me wonder if your unorthodox earth point is a work around because the original bolt sheared off.

Andy
