Black - earth
Blue and Red to starter solenoid.
Blue from ignition switch/fuse board
Blue permanent live
I have established that if I permanently connect the blue and red lead to the blue lead from the ignition switch/fuse board the starter kicks in correctly when turning the key and all is well.
I have 2 questions:
1. What damage could I be doing by bypassing the relay in this way?
2. Can someone help me identify the relay and where canI buy one?

VW did a modification with the heatsoak relay to overcome the hot start problem. I ended up with a new starter on my nold auto….

Its the heat soak relay, the autos especially have the issue of too much heat from the exhaust manifold.

this sound about right have had a lot of problems with starter motor especially when engine is hot even after fitting a new one had to leave it a couple of times to cold down before it would start hopefully it wont be a problem for me now im converting to manual
