[quote][i]Originally posted by alan-g-w[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Kano[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by alan-g-w[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] I've always used the battery earths :boggle: Do you mean on both cars? [/quote] I was going to say this as well and that I've had no ill effects, but realised the ABS sensor started playing up in my dad's car when I jumped mine off it. But then I realised the battery's in the back under the seats and it's just terminals in the engine bay iirc, so it's not only if you take it direct from the battery. The old man was a mechanic, he says it's just in general not good for a car to be used to jump start another. And now refuses to do it if/ when my battery's flat :lol: [/quote] As long as its done right it does no damage to either car. Its only going to do damage if you dont know what your doing. As for the ecu thing it is only 1 in so many that it will happen with but its not worth the risk. [/quote] We knew exactly what we were doing, just that he mentioned around the time of him using his car to jump mine it started acting up. Maybe not related, but he seemed to think so. [/quote]
