The Audi Ground Strap / Cable (OEM 8D1971235C) is a used genuine part removed from a donor vehicle. Also known as a ground cable, it provides the main electrical path to chassis ground for the 2.8L V6 (2771cc DOHC or SOHC) in Audi A4 and A4 Quattro. A failing ground strap can cause intermittent stalling, dim lights, or difficulty starting due to poor electrical return. This used OEM strap restores factory-grade grounding without the corrosion and voltage drop common in aged aftermarket cables.
