Earth Points

[pwd95]

Evening all...
Chim is going in to my local Audi specialist Saturday to have the earth points checked & cleaned. Is there a difinitive list or map of all the earthing points to be had.
Interested mainly in the front end in relation to the cooling fans, lights etc.
Also the cockpit ones, under the armrest/dash etc.
Cheers .

For me all the front wiring earthed through the offside front chassis mount as per the below:



In total I had the following earth points:

Front offside chassis mount
Rear nearside upper chassis mount (behind the fuel tank)
Nearside interior chassis bolt under the dash
Rear nearside engine block (just round and down from the rear most exhaust port)
Offside engine block (between the block and oil pump)
Offside front wheel arch (There was a thread in the outrigger coming from the upper chassis rail)

Think that was all as far as I can remember.

Hope that helps

There are sometimes earth connections to both the body bolts at the top of the tunnel under the dash edge.
