In all seriousness, I've had 6 Mk2's......3 off GTIs (all 8v) a 1.6 and 2 off 1.3's, one of which has been my daily since I was 18...I'm now 29! I've had 1 Mk3 which I bought for an ex missus and the starter was the first thing to fail!!!! I'll never buy a Mk3 again.....it let me down in a way  was not used to!!!!!!!!!

Are we still talking about starter motors?

Are we still talking about alternators?  

Turbo failures?

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but

is it my starter motor



check your battery for 12.2v (car off)
check your alternator for 13.5v-14.4v (car on)
check your gearbox ground.
check starter motor battery +ve feed.

if you have no noise at all
check your ign switch
check the wiring again!
run a bridge wire from the battery +ve to the solenoid

if you have 1 solitary click
check the braided solenoid to to starter +ve feed

if it buzzes/turns slowly
check the starter armature/carbon brushes (11mm is the minimum iirc)
check the bell housing bush

only after checking all the above, should you go about changing the starter.
