Starter motor OEM FORD or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
My problem (from 2+ years ago) turned oiut to be a bad starter. The solenoid must have gone south. A new starter motor fixed it.
Pros: new starter motor fixed
Cons: bad starter, solenoid failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Well I began taking apart the car and removing the starter and found that a part of it was bent. I'm not sure if that's the solenoid or what it's called but I'm pretty sure it's the reason the car wouldn't start.
Pros: reason car wouldn't start
Cons: part of it bent
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I would guess starter if there’s no sound when turning the key. Just replaced one on a Ford Focus and it sprang to life.
Pros: sprang to life
Cons: no sound
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
So, replaced the starter, and that was that issue.
Pros: issue resolved
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 230900 km
The starter in my GTI died and I had to push start it. It worked fine but I had a few lights on the dashboard (ESP and something else I think). The starter was the only thing wrong with the car so I think the lights were related to not turning the key to start it.
Pros: worked fine
Cons: starter died
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The plastic on those is more brittle than paper thin ice.

Very common with these starters
