Starter Motor Problem?

[Chrisguttridge1987]

Hi all,

 

I have an intermittent fault with my superb 1.9tdi. Sometimes when I attempt to start it I get nothing. I put the key in the ignition, turn it once get all lights on the dash radio etc. Then I turn it again to start and I will get one click? sometimes it can take a retry once but this morning took me about 15 turns before it went.

Seems really bizarre? The battery is brand new so I know that's ok, there are no faults on VCDS.

 

Any thoughts?

Starter relay me thinks or poor earth or even ignition switch that has a poor contact to the relay.

 

OR something else that people with more brains and knowledge than me will think of.

thanks Danny,

 

Earth seems ok. Where is the starter relay located?
