Hello everyone!
I bought an Audi A4 B7 3.0TDi with a Tiptronic transmission, engine code ASB. It had a timing chain failure on the second cylinder bank. After a lot of testing, I finally located the problem, and up until that point, the car wouldn't start because the timing chain had broken (the starter motor was working perfectly). Now, I've replaced everything, reassembled it all, and now the starter motor isn't working. Terminal 50 isn't receiving power. (The car starts and runs fine if I bypass the starter relay). So, my actual question is: Which relay is the starter relay in this Audi? Where is it located? And does anyone have an original wiring diagram for the starting system so I can make some measurements and troubleshoot the problem? Thank you very much for your help, and best regards from Rügen.

"Only the connector in the water tank is visible there, because the side panel doesn't really work for me, and it's supposed to be the J207 relay... but is that the correct relay number that's also printed on the cover?"
I'm viewing it on my phone. DieselElite

Try searching for the term "starter". You should also be able to find the related parts (relay, fuses, etc.) and their installation locations.

The problem is that no matter where I click, I can't scroll down any further. It always only shows me the first page, even when I click on a different link. So, if anyone has a PDF file, I would be very grateful. DieselElite

You need to download the PDF file to your computer. For the B7 model, it's likely to be several hundred pages, and within that, you'll find the information that applies to your specific model year and engine type. You can search through it using Adobe.
That won't work on a mobile phone.

Okay, I understand. I'm going to check the relay connected to the brown plug in the electrical box today to see if anything happens. DieselElite

You can do both with the flat rate: access content online and download it.
And if you already have a flat rate (even just one hour is enough), you can download all the documents that are relevant to you.
