[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 519496, member: 14679"] I fitted one to remedy this issue- this was after the "intermittant" became about 50/50! It's been fine for three years or so now. You're right though- technically it is a "bodge" in that it doesn't sure the issue. If you're the kind of guy that sorts stuff properly (and good for you) then I'd disconnect the battery and measure the resistance of the circuit to the starter at various points to track down any high resistance areas. so that's earth strap---battery negative. and SEPERATELY! battery positive---- light switch-----ignition switch----starter solenoid. I'd also then install a hot-start relay anyway. VW should have fitted them from new, they only didn't in the name of cost. [/QUOTE]
