That took an hour. Needed a few extra parts during, but he had it all. I showed him the problem and my solution (plus showed the car to a couple of old geezers handing in their Golf for service, as one of them said: “Neues kan alles haben”, I think that was praise), and he looked impressed. I think he was thinking to himself, if only my guys worked that fast! Or maybe he was thinking why didn’t he fix that before going that far away from home.
So now it should work. I repacked the trunk, paid a measly €35 for parts, nothing for using his garage (it rained cats and dogs 3 times in that hour), I said “Danke Sehr”, and drove off. Great feeling, it could start, it could drive, and I could stop the engine. And I knew the problem, and I had a cheater wire if everything failed. So, going south again.
