So I am pretty sure a 5mm Allen bit fell through the unbunged starter ring hole when I repaired the alternator freewheel pulley on my TT (Come on its the same) - you need to remove the inlet manifold and I lost a bit from the screwdriver.
So I am going to remove the starter motor and buy an endoscope to have a look to see if it is retrievable.
I'm thinking of painting every ring gear 'hole to make sure I have checked them and try and work out ' what time' is blocked.
I'm hoping there is a ledge or similar where this allenbit has jammed itself, or maybe it's stuck in the actual ring gear and can't get past the starter motor.
Fricken annoying
