Hey, thanks for the help! It really sounds like this could be a similar problem to my Hiace. Do you remember how expensive that repair was for you? Have you had any trouble with something similar since? Greetings!

Hey, no problem, glad I could help! So, the good news first: since the mechanic fixed my car, the engine restart issue has disappeared. It was sorted out great and I haven't had any similar problems since. And now hold on tight: the repair actually didn't cost me a penny! Because the fault was actually a so-called consequential fault in the vehicle's electrical system, it brought the cost down to €0. To be honest, I was probably lucky. Stay tuned and get it checked before it causes serious damage. All the best, my friend!

Hi, I recently had similar problems with my 2010 Toyota Auris. In my case, it turned out that the fault resulted from a secondary fault in the vehicle's electrical system. So, the cause of the fault was a combination of problems in the starter and the vehicle electrical system. In detail, it was like this: my car's starter motor was stuck and the electrical circuits were partially corroded. My mechanic had to replace the starter motor and replace some of the electrical wiring. Was this a serious fault? Oh yes, definitely! He emphasized that the quick intervention is important to prevent major damage. So don't think you should take it lightly. But don't worry, if you go to a good mechanic, you should have your car back up and running soon. In my case, it worked normally again afterwards!
