Timing belt still in tact just looking for some advice starter just clicks
A starter might click due to low voltage and current too. These cars will not run at all if the electrical system fails. I suggest that you check your battery before doing anything else. My 06 Jetta TDI exhibited very odd problems once just because the battery was weak. Batteries can fail suddenly. I had one actually explode once, stopping the car's engine immediately.Timing belt still in tact just looking for some advice starter just clicks
Motor is not locked up starter was just clicking then I tried it again and motor turns over for a sec now the starter don’t engage just winds when key is turned on got starter bench tested tested fine put back in car and still just winds when try to start
Stop trying to turn the engine over with the starter! All you are doing is causing more damage. With a sudden stoppage like that you should investigate before you try to start it. A disintegrated DMF could lock up the engine as well.
Use a 19 MM socket and try to turn the engine by hand in the direction of rotation from the crank bolt. Other than some resistance from compression, if the engine won't turn by hand you have problems that need to be addressed before you even think about using the starter.
