...black square relays with the numbers on, over to the right out the way and held them there with a screwdriver I unscrewed the big black earth strap and moved that out of the way The plug you need is black and purple but there are 2 black and purple plugs. And of course the one you need is...

Battery fully charged reads 13.7v after 10 seconds with a heavy duty discharge tester the battery still reads 12.4v and the tester says it is in the green. (The battery was disconnected from the vehicle for this test). My feeling is that the battery is fine but that there is something wrong...

any pics of this earth strap? About to charge the starter battery and need to find an earth point!

Check the earth straps, in particular from the chassis to the engine (cambelt end). corroding terminals can cause a voltage drop under heavy current draw.

Found this while I was changing a bulb today .Earth strap so no real damage , but suggestions how to prevent further damage please !

https://electrical.theiet.org/wiring-matters/years/2018/72-september-2018/the-18th-edition-bs-76712018-launch-revisited/ I’m guessing they have checked continuity between the gas system and chassis and got infinity. It‘s an easy job to fit a bonding strap and earth cable.

Check the earth strap between the chassis and engine (at the Cambelt end) I have just helped a member with a similar non-starter and the terminal had corroded.

...I either enter from the slider or the passenger's door ( easier to get in from the pavement ) so I doubt that fuel priming is a problem. Common problem on the old T3s - usually poor/corroded contact on an earth strap somewhere allowing voltage to read ok but current cannot pass sufficiently well.

Van due back tomorrow. Diagnosis was an earth strap not fixed down correctly - which sounds viable. They’ve had it on a couple of long test drives and see no further issues. Looking forward to getting it back. Have certainly learned at lot in the process! All the comments have helped enormously.

Cold dry air increases electrostatic charging. Not a lot you can do about it apart from changing what you wear. Those straps only work in the wet, even then I think it's doubtful in terms of area of contact, they definitley don't make a decent earth connection in the dry. And when it's wet, you...

Yes along with bonding straps if they fit your metal pipework, be careful there are no insulating components like plastic tube fittings, if that’s the case you’ll need to bridge them to maintain continuity. https://www.screwfix.com/p/greenbrook-internal-earth-clamp-12-32mm-20-pack/65778

...and grounds . . so both main battery connections, plus main ground straps . . . i think @Loz has highlighted issues with a main earth strap corrosion before (engine to chassis) .... but will need more feedback on the above to help further. if you need help these VAG guys are local ish...

...cycle - I have had the ignition on and off a lot recently without moving so could be quite low. I did read if charging to use chassis / earth strap connection and positive, NOT directly to positive and negative as it will confuse the battery module - is there any truth to this does anyone...

Thanks for clarifying that! Is the cable in that link ok to use?

Was always my plan but expedited it as VW cannot get me in for diagnostics for 2 weeks which means daily jumping or overnight trickle charging. So I added an earth mount. Strap goes to the engine hoist (m6 torx already installed) and has a rubber cap. Also added the hardware for...

Suitable Earth Points??, Couldn't find that earth strap i was looking in as mentioned in Main Battery Earth Point . Would the bolt in the first photo be a good choice (just in front of the battery)

Earth strap between the chassis and engine at the cam belt end? If you take a single jump lead and run it from the battery positive to the positive terminal of the starter motor you can test that path. Then do the same with a negative from the battery to the casing of the starter motor, then to...

id be checking the main power connection at the battery and at the start motor - fat black cable. also the main engine earth strap. your metal work and cables seem very corroded. i may just need a good clean up . . . +++++ remove battery, remove main battery POS cable - wire brush + emery...

Hi It's not the adblue version . I haven't got a multimeter but the recovery guy did and checked it and said it was really good . Here's the dash .. Brake light prompt comes on as usual , goes off when depressed as usual . Will try the capacitive discharge process next . Thanks No codes...
