Hello everyone, my 03 manual tdi is having an intermediate problem starting. I'd say once every 15 starts I will get a single click from the starter and it won't turn over. It usually starts if I give the key a few more turns. Additionally give the starter housing a tap will allow it to start. Battery is in great shape.
I'm wondering if taking the starter out and cleaning and lubing it will resolve the problem or if replacement is necessary
