sat1983 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Did they fit a new starter or a reconditioned one?New but not genuine.Yep, been there.It won't be the ring gear.What could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipwell Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Regarding the starter motor, I presume you mean its sqeals on start-up? If so its just another common VW niggle. Even if you replace it, it will just come back with in a few months, and they are quite tricky to change.The curse of the Lupo continues! The starter which was replaced two months ago has started making the overrun noise again! It's evidently nowhere near as bad but it's not a good sign- how the hell has it started again in 2 months!!!!Hate to say I told you so.Can you get it swapped under a guarantee?

Defcon5 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Why has it failed so quickly though Hipwell? They should last longer than that - my current one has been on for 3 years and 50k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sat1983 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hate to say I told you so.Can you get it swapped under a guarantee?Yep should be fine- if they hear it- they'll replace it. Booked in tomorrow. Many lupo owners have no problem- I cannot understand why a starter would last 2 months on any mainstream car????
