Good afternoon all!
Recently I have been experiencing an intermittent fault with my Mk2b 1.3 Multijet Punto.
When I turn the key to ignition I can hear the starter motor click once, but no crank, the engine will eventually crank after a good few tries(10 or more), interestingly on odd occasions the motor will start to crank then stop(as if the starter just gave up).
I have replaced the battery with one that has a good amount of Cold Cranking Amps and its charge level is good so that rules out the battery being flat or too weak(but still it might be the earth??)
I have seen previous posts where people have stated to just "hit" the starter with a hammer to spring it back into life but am puzzled when it comes to locating the starter.
If anyone could point me in the direction of a repair/removal guide or describe where the starter is on the diesel Punto's I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
