Sitting in the car waiting for help right now and i figure i could search for some help while i wait.

Just finished a long drive and stopped for a snack and when i get back in my car to start it up the starter spins but it wont engage the flywheel.

Does anyone here have any experience with what the fault can be, if it's a easy fix or the whole starter which needs replacement.

The car is a 2001 A6 2.7T Quattro.
320.000km on the odo.

Will try to upload a video with the sound.
EDIT: Got it to youtube.
