Passat 2012 TDI 2.0 DSG 6 - Starter Relay

[eriikoo]

Hi,

My car has problem to start. When i insert the key and press the start button it doesn't fire up the start engine. The battery seems to be ok. All lights are ok and NV510 works. The car does not warn for low battery either. So I have checked for errors with VAG COM and i found this:

It seems to be a problem with the starter relay. Is this famous problem for passat 12? What can you do about it, can you replace the starter relay or does anyone have any tips?

Regards,

Yes i took it on the volkswagen mobility guarantee. They fixed it a relay was broken. €15 for the relay and €100 for the repair cost. They took it on the warranty.

Does your invoice say what relay, part number, etc?
May help someone in the future
