    Help Needed. 2.0T Won't Start (unless bump started)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Weird scenario today. My car started without a problem this morning, I drove to get a coffee, it started after that, drove to work, and parked it around 9am.

    Got out around 1pm and tried to start it and had trouble. Three tries later, it fired. Drove to lunch, and it wouldn't start afterwards. I'll I get is a single click when trying to turn it over. It doesn't even try to crank. I bump started it without a problem. Got it home and the same thing happened. Bump started it again and got it into the shop on the hoist.

    It's on the hoist now, and I tried banging the starter to loosen it (thinking maybe it was just stuck), no dice. All I get is a click.

    I've searched Google and have come up with very few answers. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it could be the clutch switch (which is a good place to start) and am dreading that it's the starter or ignition switch. I'm capable of doing the work, it's just that I need the car to get top and from work and can't afford any downtime. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Any quick fix ideas or suggestions of where to look for a common, simple issues would be welcome.

    Thanks!
    Lucy

    Thanks. Forgot to mention, they're tighter than a nun on Sunday.

    Replace your starter. That is exactly how mine acted when it went out. Push start the car and drive it up on some ramps. The starter takes maybe 30 minutes to swap out on a 6MT 2.0 B7.

    That's awesome. Thanks. I've got it in our hoist already. Now I need to find a starter.

    Is there a DIY for the starter?

    1. Disconnect battery
    2. remove belly pan
    3. remove connector from starter.
    4. remove 13mm (i think) nut that holds the cables on starter
    5. remove 2 16mm bolts holding starter to trans bellhousing (from the trans side)

    install is just the reverse

    Nope. I boosted my dad's 65 Beaumont to get my car into our shop. Battery is golden.
