Starter Relay 12V

Relay for the starter.
12 volt.
5-pin.

In every modern car the starter works indirectly; when starting, a control voltage is applied to the starter relay, which protects the ignition and starts the engine faster than if there were a direct connection from the ignition switch to the starter.

Unfortunately this last point applies to our classic, but with this modernized starter relay we can modernize our Volkswagen classic and ensure that the ignition is protected and the engine starts much faster.

Normally a fairly high current flows through the contact to the starter, which means the contact switch will not last a lifetime. In addition, the path the current has to travel is longer than necessary, so the starter engages more slowly than if a direct voltage is applied.

The starter relay mentioned here protects the ignition; the existing wiring is only used to provide a control voltage to operate the relay. Fitting is easy and time-saving, recommended for all classic Volkswagens.

Note: Check the ground strap of your gearbox to the chassis. It is important that the electrical ground of the engine and gearbox are in good condition for the operation of your electrical system.
