my mums gti had trouble starting so bought a new battery, it didn't solve so is the stater motor.
i bought haynes and a starter motor but can;t see where it is located, any ideas as haynes is useless. thanks in advance.

Also check earth lead where it bolts to gearbox.
The starter on my 180 sounded lazy and traced it to the power lead.

even loosing the bolt i can't see how it would come out top or bottom, there is just no space.

#6: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: crystalship999, Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 3:03 pm ---- its not a bracket it was a rubber thing that is attached to the engine i think, goes into the engine. the squares show, the angle looks like you can get a t8 in but you can't because the rubber/plastic thing

#8: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: crystalship999, Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 5:44 pm ---- ok cheers, if i release that should undo, do you know how i can access to the + and neg as i can't see how to access it once loose.
#9: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 5:57 pm ---- You referring to the starter motor wiring?
#10: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: crystalship999, Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 6:25 pm ---- Yes should have been more clearer i can't see how you can get to it or is there better access once bolts removed.
#11: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 6:45 pm ---- That's simple too. The negative (earth) is provided by its mounting onto the gearbox. There's a 13mm nut for the +ve and a small maybe 8mm nut for the trigger wire.
#12: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: crystalship999, Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 7:32 pm ---- ok cheers will have another bash, it is for my mum so hopefully save her a few quid.
#13: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:43 pm ---- This picture might help show where everything is.
#14: Re: 206 gti 140 starter motor location Author: crystalship999, Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2017 2:54 pm ---- finally got the bolts off and in the end removed the coolant pipes going in the top of engine, but still couldn't get the electric wires off or maneuver it around, from the bottom or side, so cannot see it being able to be removed without removing the inlet manifold, so will be sticking it on ebay as not worth it.
