All Praise The GTI 3 Posted May 28, 2007 tried searching with no avail... ive done the clutch and swapped in a 1.6 box on my new 1.9 and ever since the started made horrible noises when trying to start the car. it whines and turns over a few times then the engine started but then it just started clicking so i charged then changed the battery but it stil does it. it will start ocassionally but ive had to bump it a few times now. thought it was the immobiliser playing up at 1st but now im sure it must be the starter. it looks fairly new tho as it stil has a sticker on it. could i have done up the bolts too tight or dislodged the wiring? as it acts as if there is not enough power to turn engine over. any help or suggestions please???

brianthemagical 1 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) take the starter off and have a look at the teeth/ring gear. check there is a dowel thing in one of the holes. Edited May 28, 2007 by brianthemagical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
