Well, I got my car back from my mechanic and it was running pretty good. (Need an injector wiring harness because it stumbles a little)
Anyway got it home and it sat in the garage for a week. Started it up twice today and the third time it would click or turn over, NOTHING!
Got a long rod and a hammer and smacked the starter twice and the SOB started right up! Shut it off and nothing! Got the hammer and rod back out and it started right up again!
So, it looks like I need a starter.
Anybody have any recommendations? Should I get a reman from Bosch or just goto Napa and get whatever they got?
Any advice and hints/help will be greatly appreciated!
The car is a 2004 TDI Jetta 5 speed manual tranny. BEW engine code.
