Starting noise
« on: 24 March 2009, 13:43 »
Well got my mk4 gti 8v at the weekend and it's a lovely car only trouble is when I start the car I get a little grinding noise for a sec after the car starts almost as if the starter motor is turning for a second to long? Never heard the noise before as normally in the car but if I start car with the door open I can hear it? I've searched through this section with no joy so hoping you guys may no what it is.

Thanks mike
