Deano 0 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi all,The earth braid between my VR's starter motor and the solenoid is completely shot so I need a new starter motor (tried replacing the braid but failed misterably!).Found the following on ebay.....is it decent? worth the money? are there cheaper alternatives?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-2-8-VR6-STARTER-MOTOR-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ220212750573QQihZ012QQcategoryZ9895QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262Cheers,Deano.

Deano 0 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 ok managed to get a 2nd hand starter.To replace it I need to support the engine, but I don't have a trolley jack. Would the VW jack suffice or is that a seriously bad idea?! Link to post Share on other sites
