As the title says I'm having some hiccups when starting the golf, now it's always started but, mostly when cold, there seems to be a few seconds pause from when I turn the key to start to the starter motor kicking. Today there was nothing at all, then when I went to see if I could notice anything out of the ordinary a few hours later bam it kicked over. This is after glowing the plugs. The battery is fine

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Driving the coal. Low and rattly. -
i would bet its just your ignition switch on the way out. you can still get new ones I think, or try pulling it apart and fixing it.
to rule out the starter, try a jump lead to the solenoid (turn key on, allow to glow, get out of car, go around and short using a bit of wire from the battery +ve terminal to the solenoid terminal)
or, vise versa, take the wire off the solenoid and connect a voltmeter, and have someone turn the ignition switch to start while you look for voltage at the wire.Last edited by gldgti; 28-11-2010, 01:40 PM.'07 Touareg V6 TDI with air suspension
