Hello everyone,
ich habe ein kleines Problem. Mein Auto ist in der letzten Zeit drei mal stehen geblieben. Das heist, ich bin unterwegs gewesen und auf einmal ist der Motor ausgegangen, die Öllampe leuchtet und es pfeifft ein Warnton. Kann mir da einer weiterhelfen? That would be really great.

Hi.

Relay 109 faulty?
Tank (almost) empty?
How was the starting behavior and the performance after it turned off?

With a high degree of certainty, relay 109.

The gauges are dropping, the warning light is beeping, and then, eventually, it starts up again.

Increased frequency at high ambient temperatures and when operating at full throttle.

The error memory is not reporting because this relay is supplying it with power.

The best way is to remove the lower trim piece under the steering wheel and see if you can find the old gray part.
or you have installed the new red relay.

Hello Tagessuppe,
Thank you for the excellent answer, it helped me a lot. I replaced the relay and since then, I haven't had any more motor shutdowns.

Sure, no problem.

Please, you're welcome icon_smile.gif.

Glad I could help.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"LG."

This is an abbreviation for "Liebe Grüße," which means "Best regards" or "Best wishes."
