Re: PicoScope 4425A with xentry scope software

Hi, nothing more than I'm curious. It is essentially the same product Branded as Xentry.

When the car first came to me it would start but would not select any gears. I tested the Clutch Actuator and was not able to fault i...

2012 VW Tiguan 1.6 Tdi CAYC Engine

This car will intermittently not crank.

It has Start Stop

Suprising thing is that it has 2 starter motor Relays in Series ! I would love to know why ?

I have removed the covers from both relays and it will crank and start if I hold both relays in by hand.

Any ideas anyone ?
