Does anyone know the function of this relay?
Hello all! A friend of mine has problems with his Alfa 155 Q4 (very similar to the Delta Integrale...): it won't start anymore. Now he suspects a faulty relay. It has partnumber A131 2049026. Does anyone the function of this relay and wether this could be the reason for not starting? Many thanks in advance for your help & advice!

Hi gash
Maybe it's way overdue but this unit appear to contain a potentiometer, proably not a relay.
The conductivity in a potentiometer can become intermittent through decades. You could note the exact position and then turn it the approx. 300 degrees CW and CCW 10 - 20 times, and finally position at the original position. Same procedure as you would do with the radio in the garage, when the apprentise has touch the untouched volume after 25 years resulting in a scratching sound.
