Starter relay (J53)

From Golf Ecomatic
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This relay is supplied with power from the Digiswing controller which activates the starter motor. This is what makes a ticking noise twice when the engine restarts.

When I replaced this switch on my Ecomatic, I noticed the relay does activate marginally (tenths of a second) faster compared to the old relay.

Effects of failure

Vehicle can not be started. Tow starting may be possible.
