Very good video, without all the unnecessary commentary which makes other video clips last forever. Straight to the point with helpful tips along the way. Cheers.
I've used a bunch of your videos for help in the past and never actually commented or anything but thank you for being awesome at these and for helping me get my car sorted. These really are great.
Top video. my starter just gone on mk4 1.8t. I have little mechanical knowledge but not afraid to get in and have a go. this video explains and makes it look pretty straightforward. top work my friend. you've probably saved me a garage bill.
Thank you ever so much, a well explained video. My dog is sticking and not returning so I need to take mine out to see if I can release it. Your video has made this an easier job.
Happy days, my starter is making a noise when I start the car. I'm an engineer anyway but, it's always handy to watch these things laid out in laymans terms. Thank you, I've subscribed.
FWIW: On a NA MKIV ALH the procedure is the same but the two bolts holding the starter motor to the bellhousing are 18mm heads no 16mm. It's also possible to get at the bottom bolt from the top of the bay with the battery & tray removed. Thanks for the video, helped me sort it out in a parking lot.
Nice video mate. I'm hoping that it's the same on my 2002 Octavia. Same engine, so fingers crossed. If it turns out to be the same I'll give ya a holler back to let peoples know. Thanks for taking the time to do the walk through and for upping the video ;)
Injoyed video, showed what needs doing to remove starter with not a lot of crap that needs left unsaid. Other how to video makers should take note Thanks
Many thanks. I'm replacing a starter on a 2006 Seat Ibiza 1.9 tdi and it's a similar procedure. There are slight differences, as to be expected, but I gleamed enough info from you to make the job worry free.
Superb job sir, I have learnt a lot of time saving methods of doing things your way👍🏻 Any chance you can do a vid on combating the squealing noise for the starter motor?
Is it the same process on a VW polo 02 plate. Because the car makes a screetching noise when it's started. VW forums say it has something to do with the starter motor needing lube. Great vid by the way
Usually, the main cable leading from a battery to the starter is (+), i.e. positive while (-) is taken naturaly via bolting to an engine. Just remark - I do not insist it is so on every each engine/starter installation. Generally great and well illustrative video, thx.
Technically it's negative...say you for example a battery and a bulb with a red and black wire....you splice the black and add motor in between the two black wired you spliced...still makes a circuit all the starter is doing is completing the circuit
Thanks a lot for this video, I'll be changing my starter Motor soon since It's past it's lifetime and I am having trouble starting my car. One question though, can I remove it just without reaching getting underneath the car?
Hi need some advice The starter motor on my golf caught fire and has burnt the wiring around it can you point me in the right direction what the looms are called for a mk4 2003 Golf
I have a 2006 VW Polo. I am almost done removing the starter (all the bolts are loose) but I am struggling with the top bolt (screw). It catches against the gear mechanism (these screws are quite long). I have tried putting it in all the gears to check which one will give it the clearance but I have failed. How do I remove it? Thank you
Just been given a 2003 caddy, its been sat for about 9months and its having problems starting! I've turned it over twice so I know I can runs. But then it just dies! I turn the key and I just get a single click and another single click on release? Do you think it could be a starter motor issue or would you check other things first? Many thanks
This guy always comes up with the goods. No beating around the bush just straight to the point . 👍🏻

Good Camera Angles and focus control, the mechanic gets right to the task at hand. Much better than many videos, thanks mate!

That engine bay is immaculate.
Thank you for all the great videos! I use them all the time to fix my vw golf :)
Another 1 of your videos saving me 100s in labour.. cheers man
Great to hear!
This made it look so easy. Done a few on old fiat/lancia years ago but this put my mind ease to do now.

I would think that using a 6 inch extension and possibly a swivel socket or even a regular socket would allow you to keep from going under the car
If I remember I did use a swivel socket.

A well narrated and excellent video ..thank you sir!

My car has stopped cranking so I'm hoping this is the fix. Great vid as always
Great video mate, made it easy to follow.
Injoyed video, showed what needs doing to remove starter with not a lot of crap that needs left unsaid. Other how to video makers should take note Thanks
That was by far the best vid I’ve seen, something white slid under the car would make it even clearer for filming. Thankyou. I’m off to buy a starter.
Glad it helped
Thanks for the video, was just trying to make sure I don't take apart more stuff than I need to.
it was great and simple to follow but what is the actual socket size to remove the final two bolts? I've been out and bought the wrong ones
Love your work Bro ! Keep it going !! really helpful thank you God Bless
Hi,
Many thanks, help me a lot and I could take it of and change it. Many thanks again for your sharing.
Best regards from France.
Yeah right. Try this on a 15 year old starter that's seen winter here in Canada. You made it seem so easy. Mine is totaly seized.
Brilliant video mate.
Thank you man From South africa
Many thanks. I'm replacing a starter on a 2006 Seat Ibiza 1.9 tdi and it's a similar procedure.

apart from the placement of the battery tray and air box, how different is this to the mk5 golf
Is it the same process on a VW polo 02 plate. Because the car makes a screetching noise when it's started. VW forums say it has something to do with the starter motor needing lube. Great vid by the way

Excellent video editing and explanation
Glad you liked it!
Thanks very much, really useful.
hiya mate, wanted to ask you if a starter motor from a DSG golf would be the same as a manual golfs? thank you.
Thanks a lot for this video, I'll be changing my starter Motor soon since It's past it's lifetime and I am having trouble starting my car.
One question though, can I remove it just without reaching getting underneath the car?
It may be a black cable, but it is connected to the battery positive terminal (not "negative terminal").
Good walkthrough though!
i love your puffer vest man, '90 style ahahah
Lol, Thanks man

Is there anything else attached to the starter motor power wire that is connected permanently to the battery terminal?
Would this be the same on 1.9 bug??
thanks mate!
Hey that black cable to the starter solenoid is not negative it goes to the battery positive see the battery terminal wire
Is 2006 caddy 2l the same
Thank you
Question, is that the similar steps for the base model mk 6 2010 golf
It really depends on your engine, but in general they are mostly the same.
