Sticky Starter Motor

[Stan24v]

The starter motor on the Bug is a bit sticky ie it stays on slightly too long after starting up. Is it worth having it recon'd or should I just get a new one? Are they renowned for problems? Anyone know a price new? Its a 2.0 btw

Cheers
Stan ;)

Yep mine too im afraid,

Has an interesting squeal sound on start up like mice or something?

Maybe it is just mice who knows.

seems to be fine tho on first start up. Anyone help? or supply a trap for the mice lol!

i asked my vw tech mate at the weekend and he says they dry out ,but the only fix is to replace it

im gonna wait til it goes completely then!

Oh bugger, guess its a new one then?

Just been quoted £200 fitted, is this resonable?

Seems a load of cash to get rid of a squeal thats all!

Smart bug by the way!!
