andrewdr Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 My 2001 1.4 Lupo wont start, when I turn the key nothing really happens but it does make a slight whining noise, the radio etc all come on, I've just had the starter replaced and it still doesn't start unless bumped and then it seems to run fine. What could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Maybe the ring gear has stripped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09robinsona Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Check the obvious, put battery on charge. if the starter motor has been fitted reacently check it’s not loose or that any connections to it are loose. if the starter was replaced the battery would have been disconnected, check terminals are on tight.
