@TenPeaceShow Actually, I said at the beginning of the video, that I all
ready had checked the ground cable, and it was fine!! There was power at
terminal 30 at the starter. What this video was about, was determining if
the ignition switch was bad, or the starter motor itself. Due to the fact
that there was power to terminal 50 means the starter motor or the solenoid
had failed. I was not showing how to diagnose a bad ground, but if I was,
that could also be done with a test light.

Anyone know what is the estimated labor time to replace a starter on a ’98
A4 V6? Thx

VTSPQR says:

Yep! I’m in Vermont, the rust Capital of the U.S.A…

Will a conductivity meter do the same job. Put the ignition on and touch
the terminal 50 with the positive to see if there’s a current flowing right
to the terminal. When I turned the ignition in my car, the car was dead,
then it started, few days later, dead, then it ran pretty ok for a year,
now it’s dead. So I have to confirm if it is the starter motor or somehitng
else. Cheers.

nice video.. and great troubleshooting. i got the same A4 and love the car,
but hate the size of the engine bay. there is so little room behind the
radiator. thanks for pointing out the components from below. my underside
is as rusted as yours from a few upstate NY winters.

I have replaced my turbo recently so i disconnected the battery for a few
days. after reinstall of turbo my vehicle will not start,no click,battery
12v charged,no dimmed lights,fuel pump engages,just not click or turn
over.I was told that it could be an alarm feature not sending signal to the
starter.I find it odd that my starter would go bad all of a sudden…Please
give your input.

idea.

What year is this Audi A4? My car has the same problem. If I get lucky, I
can push start it as long as it has a little bit of battery power. I tried
jumping, my battery and it still wouldn’t start. I’m thinking it may be my
starter on my 96 AUDI A4.

This is the funniest comment that I ever got on YouTube! ROFL =)

VTSPQR says:

Thank you for watching. =)

I replaced my engine wiring harness and after the install my car won’t
start, won’t turn over at all. It has a brand new battery in it. I don’t
think the starter would suddenly stop working being that it was working
find before. Could you give me advise please.
