Hey everyone - first time posting in the tdi room.
The 2002 tdi sometimes starts over a little slow, or sometimes cuts out momentarily while starting, or sometimes turns over fine but churns over for a couple seconds before starting.
I’ve read in some other forums people experience the same thing for tdi beetles.
The car has never not started for me - and is perfect on a warm restart. But sometimes on a cold start the starter is just “retarded”.
It’s most likely the starter from what I believe now - but also curious on maybe grounding/positive wiring for the battery. Not sure - just throwing it out there to see if anyone has ideas.
I’m interested in looking for a New starter and curious where folks get them from. Oreilly has reman which isn’t my first choice, is Bosch a better option? I may be interested in keeping the core to rebuild and keep as a backup as well. Any recommendations are great thanks for the time, happy burning
