Hi guys, back in a b5 tdi until i find an S4 - Kids left interior light on and battery went flat, so recharged battery for 24hrs while i changed the aux belt - Refitted battery and got a very slow crank for about 2 seconds and then nothing, repeated hits with the hammer brought one or two clicks, jump start did not work, bump started the car and it runs fine (with new aux belt) - Ran it for 30 mins, shut it off, went to restart - Nothing -
So i removed the starter motor, bench tested it, worked, but very very slowly, so stripped it down - There was literally no brushes left in it, just the springs and a lot of crap and horrible smell thats gave me a headache -
So im going to get brushes off ebay in the future and refurb this starter motor, but im having a slight bit of trouble locating a used started motor - The black body of my starter motor has NO part number whatsoever, but the alloy housing is stamped BOSCH -
Im unsure if there are any differences between pd and non-pd B5 diesels - If anyone can shed some light i would be greatful - Many thanks and look forward to having a lot of issues with the car
