Post by: denzilbud on December 27, 2014, 02:02:42 pm
Hi all been having problems starting my gti just lately and cant work out if its starter motor or battery when you turn the ignition the dash lights dull but nothing happens like the batterys flat but after a few attemps it will fire up.once its running i have a few lights on dash like esp.steering and a few others but when I pull away they all go out again and stay out until the engine is turned off and started again then does the same
ever since ive had the car its had a lazy starter motor aswell what are peoples thoughts.many thanks in advance

Sounds like battery to me. Get a free battery test at kwik fit or Halfords

Bought a new battery which has improved the problem but still doesnt start every now and again so looking at a starter motor now does anyone know of the part number I will need for a 07 plate bwa engine
