Instructions

The issue

Regardless of how cautious you are when removing or installing the OE stud, the factory cam cover is made of soft aluminium and the thread is

prone to failing. This bolt is used by your ignition coil to ground the coil circuit, and even with only little thread damage, it is possible

for a weak ground to form, causing running issues including misfires and timing retardation, caused by reduced spark energy. 

When doing engine testing or ignition system maintenance, the bolt is frequently taken out and put back in, causing the issue.

VWAG use an oval bolt to hold down the coil pack which makes the issue worse every time the bolt is removed and installed. 


The solution

By running a permanent earth to the stud behind the battery, the need to remove the top 10mm nut holding the OE coil earth wire

down is no longer necessary, and the possibility of having a weak, loose, or damaged ground is eliminated.

The new round threaded bolts provided in the kit must still be removed in order to remove the ignition coils, but you no longer

need to "double nut" it to ground the circuit, reducing the likelihood of a weak circuit.

Round threaded bolts are also much better for the longevity of the thread in the cam cover. 

The Earth wire is made to a Motorsport standard using the best products including new genuine pins and seals, Raychem SCL and Raychem DR25 making the wire durable against anything that may be found in the engine bay and also heat resistant.

This is a full kit with nothing else needed for the install.
