starter

So for about 3 or 4 days now my 2017 Leon 1.0 Ecomotive has not been doing Stop-Start as it usually does. And yesterday I tried starting the engine in the early morning and all interior and exterior lights starting flashing on and off in a random/quick sequence. I had to keep the key turned in...

Hey guys, got my car back, reparied from a Cat D write off, with the pay out I was able to fix it for £50 :D with none genuine seat parts though, only cosmetic stuff.. Since getting it back I've noticed a squeel when I start the car and asking a few friends it turns out its the starter...

Hi guys, I have just done a stoopid thing, car was running, I pulled a fuse out and the engine stopped, now it wont restart, any ideas anyone??? The fuse was in the side panel, 10 amp i think, and the symbol corresponding to it was the pic of the engine. HEEELP!!

Got the car YESTERDAY, starter gone today. How much would it cost for a new one? Anyone recommend somewhere in Glasgow to go?

Hey folks, had a search, plenty of discussions about starter motors, but no one mentioning if it's an easy or hard job to replace. Ages ago I noticed like a grinding type sound when I started the car up, to me it sounds like it's coming from UNDER the car (Cat/Downpipe area) but anyway, it...

Car didn't start last night, all I could hear was the solenoid clicking away. Push started to get it going. Once back home, stopped engine and tried to start - clicking solenoid again. THought was going to have to push start this morning, but thought I'd try starting it on the key - and it...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, have a problem with my newly acquired MK1 Leon 1.6s, 2001 with 72k on the clock. Seems to be the typical symptoms that other people have described of starter motor problems - for about 1 second after starting the car, there is a loud screeching noise, which goes away...

I'm having a bit of a problem with my 1.4 (AEX Engine) Ibiza: Sometimes when the engine is cold the starter motor will not engage. Turning the key just results in a whirring noise. A few tries at starting it gets the starter to engage and the engine turns over and fires fine but I'd obviously...

Two quick(ish) questions:D Anyone know the cost of a mk1 starter motor for a Leon (1.6s if it matters?)? Also what is the annual service schedule for the same car? Im not gonna go to the dealer this year and just my local garage as the car is coming up eight years now :)

Had my car in at the garage as it wont start and they say its the starter motor. But they are saying that the gearbox/bushing also needs replaced at the same time?? :wtf: The car can be pushed started and runs fine once started. Had a look online at starter motors and seen one where it...
