JAM11E 10 Posted October 18, 2014 Hi All, My starter motor has decided to pack up today!! (Needed one for a while) How easy are they to change? Failing that, how much should I expect to pay to get it replaced at a garage? Thanks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted October 18, 2014 VR6 Jamie? If so, its not too bad. Make sure you support the engine though, as the front bolt also acts as the mount bolt, so if you removed it without supporting the front of the engine would drop forward! It can be a bit of a ballache getting that bolt back through and lined up, but persevere and you'll get it done mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted October 18, 2014 When mine went recently I replaced it with a Golf V5 one, has made an amazing difference in turning the engine over! Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAM11E 10 Posted October 18, 2014 Cheers guys :) Yeah it's a vr6, just bought a new one £177 but I get £50 refunded if I take my old one to them. I'll give it a go tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
