Well ordered the starter from Euro Car Parts and picked it up this morning went home to compare the two and there were some major differences one big one being that the bolts to attach it to the car wouldnt even fit, it was a bosch part aswell must have been for something else. So that went back to ECP for a refund and i did what i should have done ordered from VW, slightly dearer and have to wait a few more days but at least i know the parts going to fit. Moral of the story dont order from the monkeys at ECP -

Was advised not to bump start the car as its a vr6 with chains and apparently you shouldnt dont know why just something ive heard. Anyway just ordered a starter motor and will be here tomorrow, after that im stuck. ---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ---------- Quick question can you remove the vr6 starter motor without taking off the front end of the car? -

Not the ignition switch just changed for new and its still the same. Narrowed down the electrical pop to the starter motor solenoid on top of the starter give it a beating but still nothing -

When people say can you hear the pump prime what noise am i listening for ? Yeah im more inclined to look at the easier things first relays, fuses, ignition switch. Just so random though drove fine yesterday on the way home no problems -

Cant remember will have a listen later...sounds as though ive not turned the immobiliser off when i go to start it BUT ive turned it off. Also when i go to turn the key to start and i get the electrical pop when i go to start again it wont turn to where you turn to start the engine. I have to take the key out of the ignition to be able to try again -
