Yes. Most likely symptomatic of a less than robust ground between the
engine, chassis and battery. I added a direct connection, made from
the biggest (gage wise) "generic" battery cable I could find, which

mounting bolts. Cost me about 5 bucks and is worth a million!
Hi Tom,
I actually made a new ground cable for myself out of thick
Monster Cable, with a nice brass connector and everything.
Problem is......How do you unscrew that tranny/block mounting
bolt??!? I tried with all my strength but couldn't even budge it
to get the old cable off. How much torque do you need? Any
liquid wrench or anything? Just wondering.
Ummmm, it wasn't that difficult that I recall. I used one of the ones
on the back of the block, toward the firewall (this is on a GLI).
