possible broken starter motor/solenoid


Recommended Posts

just complete the engine conversion on my mk2 with a vr6 engine went to start it the other day and when i turned the key to position 3 the solenoid clicked but the motor didnt turn over.

i took out the starter and bench tested it and it wasnt working properly so i stripped the whole thing down cleaned it all up ect put it back together and bench tested it and it worked properly.

 

i put it back in the car and it turned the engine over for 5 seconds then i turned the key back and went to try it again then had nothing. it didnt turn over lightning fast so i thought maybe a flat battery.

i charged up the battery and tried it again but no luck.

i got jump leads and put the positive straight to the signal for the solenoid and still had no click.

have i burnt out the solenoid or do i have a bad earth

 

any help will be much appreciated!
