Hi all.

Can anyone confirm if the covered braided ground strap at passenger side
of
engine bay connect to the engine hood?

Why is it grounding the hood to the frame?

I don't own this vehicle. Just helping a friend.
Checked online diagrams but didn't see reference.

An ebay link to what looks like the part:

I see its used in quite a few VW's.

Thanks

Neil.
