Hello guys,
Unfortunately have to bump up this topic, because few days ago my Octavia mk1 vRS didn't start. I've checked the battery voltage, it is good. Then checked the solenoid connection. One probe on the battery negative, the other in the cable that goes to the solenoid. I've read little above 12V when turned the key. Then I put back the solenoid cable and moved the probe to the starter body and the positive cable that comes from the battery. Turned the key on and received little above 0.7V drop.
Any recommendations what to check next and what actually is the problem?
Thanks,
Nick
