EQT Coil Grounding Kit Installation - Pro Kit

The EQT Coil Grounding Kit (CGK) is designed and engineered to provide a simple solution for a common problem on the MQB EA888.3 Platform. https://eqtuning.com/collections/vw-a... Link for the de-pinning kit: https://amzn.to/3kKjUiI The Problem: The factory cam cover is soft aluminum and is prone to stripping regardless of how careful you are when removing or installing the OE stud. Your ignition coil uses this stud to ground the coil circuit and any amount of damage can occur in a weak ground which may induce unnecessary knock retard or reduced spark energy, even if the threads are only mildly damaged. The bolt is often removed and installed when servicing the ignition system or performing engine testing. Such as replacing spark plugs, ignition coils, performing compression, or a leak down test, etc. VWAG in their infinite wisdom also uses oval bolts which exacerbates the problem the more times they're removed and installed. The Solution: By isolating the ignition coil ground to its own circuit and grounding it to the chassis, the need to remove the top nut is no longer necessary and the risk of having a weak, loose, or damaged ground is removed. While you still need to remove the stud in order to remove the ignition coils, you don't need to "double nut" it anymore in order to ground the circuit -- preventing the chance of a weak circuit. Without the need for a stud on top of the bolt, you can easily replace your existing hardware with round M6x1.0 thread pitch bolts instead of the OE oval hardware. OE Hardware is N91229201 and measures 45mm UHL (Under Head Length) and 12mm OHL (Over Head Length). To replace this stud with an appropriate size bolt you would want M6x1.0 x 45mm Please SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and LIKE this video if you found it helpful! Thanks! http://everythingcpo.com
