trek1234green 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 HiCan anybody help me? I am new to my car (Sharah VR6 auto). Its runs sweet as a nut, but when you turn the key it makes the most horrible & loud screeching grinding noise. Seems like starter motor needs replacing to me, which local garage has confirmed, BUT, they say that the flywheel may also be knackered, (but they won't know until they get the starter motor off) and if so this will be a MAJOR job, much much more £££'s.Does this sound right? Is there a good chance flywheel will be goosed?Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.ThanksAndy Link to post Share on other sites
crish72 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Never heard of the flywheel going before...The noise you've described does sound like the starter motor solenoid on it's way as mine does it occasionaly at the moment...Flywheel story sounds like a bit iffy imo..Chris Link to post Share on other sites
trek1234green 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah I hope you are right. Getting the starter motor replaced next wed, fingers crossed thats all it is. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
ingham 5 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 ive seen at least 2 vr6 s that when clutch is removed the ring gear is falling off(should be fixed to flywheel) sounds like similar problem Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah if its grinding then I would say your flywheel is nacked tbf, If you dont belive them ask to see it once its been replaced and you should see that the teeth are all nackerd or as above its become detacted Link to post Share on other sites
