Its broken down!!

[t_searle]

Went to start my cupra this morning and nothing, tried to jump start and nothing, then AA came out and found a broken wire gping to the starter motor, has anyone else had this? He done a temp fix, but has anyone had this fixed properly at the dealers?

My friend had this on his Leon 1.6S last year.

First I've heard of it though, second now.

I had this problem with my old Ibiza. I got the AA to tow me to the dealer and then they got me a hire car as the dealer didn't have anything. A couple of days later it was all fixed and I thankfully was rid of the Corsa.

The AA were excellent, only took 15 mins to turn up, 10 mins to trace and fix and then I was away, had a few bad experiances with the AA before but this has won me back!!!

The AA guy I had couldn't get to the cable, but I'll give him credit for slicing his hand to bits trying to get to it...

yup it's a known fault

the cable can be a bit too short and the engine movement makes it snap
