February 11, 200916 yr Sometimes when i goto start my car it makes an awfull noise, the same noise it makes if you turn the key when the car is already started. It does this once or twice then starts as normal. WHY? any ideas? starter motor?
February 11, 200916 yr Starter motor enagement spring is failing and not engaging properly, or it has come loose against the gearbox. Its common for one of the bolts to work its way loose, allowing the starter motor to move about which often snaps one top mounting point.
February 11, 200916 yr tighten up the starter and see if that helps ? if not remove it and inspect the starter and flywheel ring gear
February 11, 200916 yr Author Dang, more work! Stupid question, to get access to the starter motor do i have to be underneath the car?
February 11, 200916 yr Happened to me lol, the noise it made was pretty badass! Bolted back up again, all good!
February 11, 200916 yr Mine has made this noise in the past and then i forgot about it....Now its on my to do list, thanks for reminding me
