Do you just pull the starter out when the bolts are removed? Mine is stuck. Applied some rust remover and will try again tomorrow

Petr Svoboda says:

Thank you so much!!! You are my hero!….The problem was in cable in 5:28. It was rust.

Kenny b says:

what is wrong when the starter cog does not retract quickly enough? mine is starting the motor ok but gets spun by the flywheel and makes a loud screeching sound

Piotr Cichy says:

It's pretty much the same in Seat Ibiza 6L

increality says:

Fantastic video ty.
What if it only shows 11.86 volts when testing the ignition wire that goes to the solenoid? I had the starter rebuilt but I'm still having starting issues. Battery shows good, as does the alternator.
