Starting problem
Octavia 2 2.0 TDi DSG 2005 50,000 miles
All lights come up as usual, OK. Glow plug & air bag arm go out.
Turn key to start cranking and nothing happens, no obvious noises at all.
Try again or later may or may not start, once started OK if restated again.
Taken to Skoda garage no faults on VAG com or faults found
Anybody had similar problem or any ideas?
Anybody know if starter can be shorted to operate when this happens?
There is a 40 amp fuse for the starter, does this supply the starter motor mounted solenoid? Would applying juice to this operate it or is there a CAN bus or other communication with starter motor itself needed?
