the previous garage fitted mine with sub standard parts so it started up again, he also said that its only had one change in the life of the vehicle and that the latest bosch ones will last possibly till the engine drops out

longer you leave it the more load thats goin on the solenoid, mines lasted over 2 years with the screech and for the first time ever this morn it stuttered to start, whip it off and grease it up well, i used copper slip which i can safely say is no good, use white grease and it should work much better

I have had quite a few 20vt come to me with this problem. I took it apart, greased it up, put it all back together and it fixes the problem for about 3-7 months. It seems to be resigned to those who are still running the standard DMF and clutch setup, perhaps the high mileage on the standard clutch combined with the extra strain of a remap are producing more clutch dust. The same thing happens even with those who purchase refurbished starter motors for me to fit.

While those who have changed to a SMF setup and new clutch have not had the problem re-occur.

Id recommend using genuine OEM starters then it will last another 10years. Just pay the TPS/VW price tag not the cheap chinese sh!t.

Job done  :smiley:
