Hi all,
Been a bit dormant of late, had allot of uni work to do and cars been faultless
Recently its started making a clicking/squealing noise.
When you starte the car it sounds as if the starter motor is staying engaged a second or two too long, from reading around im lead to belive this is due to clutch dust ingress.
Anyone know if its possible to simply dismantle said starter motor area, clean up the spline which i presume it slides on, then re-assemble.
Or am i looking at a new starter motor.
I must stress, it never fails to start, and engaes properly first time every time. just this strange noise. (worth noting my mates stilo has been making the same noise ever sinc ehe bought it about 18 months ago, hes just never bothered to look into it)
Any diagrams/schmatics would be useful, ive lost my eLearn and ive run out of CD's...might try and mess around with virtual drives if i get a free moment, but uni is overloading me ATM.
Its a 1.8 3dr Dynamic -02
