W168 - Underbonnet Earth Points

[TazzyK]

Hi, I've noticed a couple of earth cables not attached to anything and was hoping someone could post a picture of the following areas so that I could see where to re-attach the earth straps:

1, The first one is basically a wire just below the coolant tank. I think it's a 3-way earth point, but the one that goes down towards the engine(?) is not attached to anything, so I'd like to know where it was originally attached.

2, The second one is below the washer bottle. I'm not sure where this is supposed to be attached at all, so a pic would be helpful if possible.

TIA

Just found the exact same wires today on my a140, mine look like they were ripped off the cable shoe. Maybe someone lowered the engine without loosening these.
I found that the one under the coolant tank must have been connected near the left side of the ignition module. I found a cable shoe there with no wire attached to it. I found it because i could see the corroded wire stumps on it.
The other one i havent yet found out where to connect. Hope i will get the answer here.

the earth wire under the coolant bottle goes from the chassis leg under the big hose to the engine mount underneath it.
the other one goes from the bracket under the ABS pump to the engine mount underneath it.
