This Audi starter/alternator wiring harness and battery cable, OEM part 8W0971228AK, is a used genuine component that routes power between the starter, alternator, and battery. Also called the starter harness or battery cable, it's found on 2.0L TFSI/MHEV engines in select A4 and A5 models. Over time, this harness can develop corrosion or fraying, leading to intermittent starting or charging issues. Because it feeds high current from the alternator to the battery and starter, a failing harness may cause dim lights or a no-crank condition.
