Re: Were VW electrical designers on acid?

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

Being in the UK, I don't have to worry about such complications - hell, we 
didn't even see PAS and A/C is pretty much non-existant, if it was ever 
offered. I'd guess it would make sense to have the O2 ground as close as 
possible to the sensor since it is working on a limited voltage range and I 
presume the O2 brain is somewhere in the engine bay / scuttle anyway.
I'm not bothered about rerouting my ground as it doesn't seem to have had 
any effect on the cluster, apart from making it work again!  I've plenty 
more more problems to fix.

Thanks again,

Ewan.
