Partner's 2005 Golf BLR is not cranking but when I jumper the solenoid S terminal to battery + the car cranks and starts. Put a multimeter on the solenoid trigger wire from the ignition switch and 0 volts when cranking, but 5 volts when not cranking. Weird.

When it has trouble starting, really bad, I can hear it cranking fine but the engine just won't...

Hey everyone,

My Mk3 VR6 (manual) has been conking out/stalling by itself as of late.
It drives normally, no odd noises, and once it stalls it struggles to start up again, just continuously cranks over with the oil and battery warnings flashing.

Currently I'm thinking...
