Technical earthing point locations

[arc]

Hello

Just wondering, does anyone know where all the earthing points are under the bonnet - i need to know, and its pissing it down!

I know there is one just in front of the Battery, I think its under the expansion tank. Its where the - terminal from the battery connects to.

I am also sure there is another one on the passenger side of the car, under the ECU somewhere.

They are both body colour bolts.

ta

are there any more main earthing points, does the alternator have its own earth?

U can use lots of things. Ive used the back of where the lights bolt on for my neons. Steel plates behind my arches for my sidelights... If you can find an easy one, make one. Just scrath the paint off to make sure of a good contact.

Behind and slightly below the coil packs there is an earthing point with lots of connections.

Hi,
There's three main engine bay body earthing points on a cinq I think, one under the expansion tank, where the battery connects to, and one behind each headlamp unit on the inner wing. There should also be one for the gearbox on the passenger side of the car but I'm not sure.......
The engine and alternator earth on the drivers side pair of earth points and the ecu earths one the passenger side..

Thanks
