Starter Motor for my Golf
Hey guys,
I own a 1997 VW Golf CL.
I've been having problems starting it recently, so I took it into the mechanic. I'm told that I need a new starter motor, which is going to cost
~$900!
Is this the correct price? It seems a lot for a starter motor..
How easily avaliable are second hand ones, and are they reliable?
$900 was far more than what I was expecting..!..
Anyway, Thanks for the help....

ask your mechanic were the local auto elect and visit them,is your car manual or auto? as the clutch dust in a manual builds up inside the starter
and causes a bit of havic,have removed many pulled them apart cleaned and refitted without the need for new parts....be informed as this will save you
money! cheers dsk steve
