Starter issue.

Hi all,

 

Im having a clicking issue with my 205 Gti 1.6. I have changed the starter motor last weekend. Car was starting first crank  and still is, its just sometimes it won't crank and makes a clicking noise from the starter motor. I thought maybe the solenoid wasn't working but it is brand new starter motor. I had the aa breakdown have a look at it and he believed it was a poor ground. He added a ground from engine block to negative on the battery to make sure starter was grounding properly, this has helped and has lowered the amount it clicks apposed to cracking over when attempting to start. But it still does do the clicking maybe every 1 in 5, looking online could it be the ignition barrel as the car does have a different key for ignition which would mean it's been changed once already. The car does also have a TOAD immobiliser, but that seems to be working ok. And if you keep it activated and try and crack you get nothing, not even a click. I have also had a look at loom as I was told blue wire 46B was ignition to starter motor , on this wire 2 more blue wires have been added, I guess for immobiliser? they are connected around the ignition Amplifier and head back into car with rest of loom towards the cpu/ immobiliser area. 

 

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated?

 

 

Thanks Oscar
