How do I improve the earthing on the A2?
My A2 has been brilliant until yesterday when it took me and the AA 3 hours to get it running.
I got in the car, wouldn't start and the dials were bouncing around on the stops with the mileage flashing dim. there is also complete electrical failure everywhere else. I feared it may be the EPU as this was making clicking noises.
The battery is pumping out over 12 volts but the EPU under the passenger floor is only getting 2-8 volts.
The car wouldn't start with jump leads on the battery but would jump start when connected up to the main running to the EPU. so we have solved the situation by running a jump lead from the negative battery terminal and earthing it at the passenger foot well.
Now, having a jump lead running through the car is less than ideal, so I wonder if you guys can help. Is it the earthing that is the problem or something else?
I'll keep you updated.
