gandhi 10 Posted October 31, 2012 Hi Guys - Newbie VR6 owner - just sold my Oak Green 16v 3 door MK2 and had to get something else!! The starter doesn't always engage so I was going to remove it, strip it and attempt to repair it. I also heard that the Golf V5 starter motor is a straight fit? Is it worth trying to repair the existing one and is the whole job to remove the starter motor easy or complex? Do I remove it from the top or from underneath?! Cheers, Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 31, 2012 Welcome to the forum, I'd just buy a (decent) replacement exchange - not an expensive item! Either genuine VW or a Bosch for Eurocarparts etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandhi 10 Posted October 31, 2012 I guess one of these is pretty good value?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STARTER-MOTOR-VW-Corrado-2-9-VR6-91-95-/370537288107?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5645be51ab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VWVW 1 Posted October 31, 2012 9 months ago I got a genuine VAG starter motor for 170.00 all in with your old starter as an exchange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
