i have a problem starting my superb

happened to me a week ago

i hear the starter and the engine reving but it wont start

after a couple of tests i found the problem was this sensor in the picture attached to this post

banging it a bit with a screwdriver fixed it

i thought it was a contact problem so i pulled it out and bent a little the inner pins to get better contact

that fixed it for a week

today i had this problem again

so i tapped on it again and it started fine

i assume the sensor need to be replaced

the thing is i dont know what it called so i could get the part number and order it online or something

is there a website that i could get a diagram with the parts number ?

 

The part number will be on the part itself.

Starter motor details for 3.6 here with part number (scroll down).

Edited to Add: Sorry, it looks like you meant the solenoid for the starter motor. That part number (and details) to suit the 3.6 is here (Click on description to get full detail):
