STRANGE NOISE
« on: 26 January 2012, 19:33 »
Hi all went out last night and when i started the golf up its a gti 1.8 turbo it was making a weird noise like a vacuum cleaner i turned the car off and started it up again and the noise went then a couple of hours later it did it again. I went to the car this morning started it up about 5 times and it was fine then my wife took my daughter to school and it was fine but when she went to work it did it again. Any ideas what it could be i was thinking the starter motor could be sticking????

should get it sorted tbh, only takes a hour to sort it and better than your starter motor breaking
