[@upthereds4939]

This guy always comes up with the goods. No beating around the bush just straight to the point . 👍🏻

[@dsearles2337]

Good Camera Angles and focus control, the mechanic gets right to the task at hand. Much better than many videos, thanks mate!

[@tonyhall5787]

Very good video, without all the unnecessary commentary which makes other video clips last forever. Straight to the point with helpful tips along the way. Cheers.

[@ManInJapan]

I've used a bunch of your videos for help in the past and never actually commented or anything but thank you for being awesome at these and for helping me get my car sorted. These really are great.

[@KenDunnUSNA87]

I've been watching your videos for a while. I appreciate your succinct & straightforward approach (to both car repair and to video editing).

[@steelbosgrove8446]

its magic having a vw specialist on here ! thankyou !

[@BMACVAGS]

Just trying to help people, thanks for supporting the channel

[@KhovanyKem_KO]

Quick video straight to the point. Great for someone getting into cars for sure you earned a sub

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank you, I appreiate that

[@4068wood]

I've followed quite a few of your tutorials on here and they've all helped for a lot of fixes. Just wanted to leave you feedback to say thanks!

[@boquin84]

never have left a comment before, but thanks for the uploads. you have bailed me out on suspension, axles jobs etc. I appreciate it!

[@bigkahunnaburger2906]

Top video. my starter just gone on mk4 1.8t. I have little mechanical knowledge but not afraid to get in and have a go. this video explains and makes it look pretty straightforward. top work my friend. you've probably saved me a garage bill.

[@jackhellier2259]

Whenever I need to do anything on my VW Bora I always look for your vids! Thanks mate helped me through many repairs!

[@seeindarkness]

Thanks for the videos, fixed half my car using them!

[@fishing365]

Cheers fella

[@RocketFriday]

Love this guy. Got excited as soon as I seen the intro

[@hkfoouey]

You are the man dude!!! starter just went - now I can swap it out myself!!! Thanks dude!

[@recklesstapedeck]

Thank you ever so much, a well explained video. My dog is sticking and not returning so I need to take mine out to see if I can release it. Your video has made this an easier job.

[@Stella0115]

Thank you for all the great videos! I use them all the time to fix my vw golf :)

[@PaulSveda]

FWIW: On a NA MKIV ALH the procedure is the same but the two bolts holding the starter motor to the bellhousing are 18mm heads no 16mm. It's also possible to get at the bottom bolt from the top of the bay with the battery & tray removed. Thanks for the video, helped me sort it out in a parking lot.

[@messina1219]

I would think that using a 6 inch extension and possibly a swivel socket or even a regular socket would allow you to keep from going under the car

[@PaulSveda]

If I remember I did use a swivel socket.

Your videos are VWery much appreciated! It helps me alot. Thanks a bunch 👊🏻✌🏻

[@ballbagvw]

Happy days, my starter is making a noise when I start the car. I'm an engineer anyway but, it's always handy to watch these things laid out in laymans terms. Thank you, I've subscribed.

[@derekcollins56]

Nice video mate. I'm hoping that it's the same on my 2002 Octavia. Same engine, so fingers crossed. If it turns out to be the same I'll give ya a holler back to let peoples know. Thanks for taking the time to do the walk through and for upping the video ;)

[@peterjackson6237]

A well narrated and excellent video ..thank you sir!

[@Mandk1108]

This made it look so easy. Done a few on old fiat/lancia years ago but this put my mind ease to do now.

[@blobby750]

Again, great video...you are definitely the man for mkiv..

[@ThePunter29]

That engine bay is immaculate.

[@phil290777]

Another 1 of your videos saving me 100s in labour.. cheers man

[@BMACVAGS]

Great to hear!

[@sinisterurge9466]

Great vid man, big help with my 2000 5speed TDI jetta

[@n.storto]

Yeah right. Try this on a 15 year old starter that's seen winter here in Canada. You made it seem so easy. Mine is totaly seized.

[@Elldeeve]

It’s always your vids that get me out of the shit. Delivery driver, working tomorrow. Starter dies at midday, now it is fixed. Ta

[@thephatfacegamer5765]

Love your work Bro ! Keep it going !! really helpful thank you God Bless

[@michaelkurtz1967]

Injoyed video, showed what needs doing to remove starter with not a lot of crap that needs left unsaid. Other how to video makers should take note Thanks

[@ThisisTwizzy]

This video really helped me and I don't know anything about cars. Legend mate

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank you for watching

[@mrk5924]

Great video mate, made it easy to follow.

[@vincentmeyer961]

Hi, Many thanks, help me a lot and I could take it of and change it. Many thanks again for your sharing. Best regards from France.

[@joelhedman8367]

You are the best! And extra credit for the little smile in the end

[@steve07762]

another quality video. thanks, your a great help.

[@MidTokerProductions]

Awesome video man, helps out alot!!

[@dickyyrrep1383]

That was by far the best vid I’ve seen, something white slid under the car would make it even clearer for filming. Thankyou. I’m off to buy a starter.

[@BMACVAGS]

Glad it helped

[@LSbimmer]

Thanks for the video, was just trying to make sure I don't take apart more stuff than I need to.

[@Timtherunner]

My car has stopped cranking so I'm hoping this is the fix. Great vid as always

[@Meantime5]

Good work man, keep it up!!!

[@88CBAUGH]

Many thanks. I'm replacing a starter on a 2006 Seat Ibiza 1.9 tdi and it's a similar procedure. There are slight differences, as to be expected, but I gleamed enough info from you to make the job worry free.

[@BMACVAGS]

yes it will bethe same

[@1.9tdilove71]

I have also problem of starter motor . Burning smell and little smoke Skoda Octavia rider diesel 1.9tdi ALH Is it OK to repair or replace?

[@bellsbeachcoral8911]

Brilliant video mate.

[@sindilemthwa2362]

Thank you man From South africa

[@binagarten4667]

Excellent as usual!

[@krigan7772]

I was able to follow this steps for an audi tt 08, and did it.. Thanks!

[@Nohandleneeded101]

Superb job sir, I have learnt a lot of time saving methods of doing things your way👍🏻 Any chance you can do a vid on combating the squealing noise for the starter motor?

[@markdootson5294]

Excellent vid, many thanks

[@laundryeater]

Thank you from North Carolina!

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank you for taking the time to watch it

[@skidah]

Great video dude!

[@alswraps6294]

Awesome I learned from your video

[@ammaad1972]

Great video. Thank you.

[@j0nd1s]

Very helpfull movie! Thank you!!!!

[@hermanmelville2029]

good video to the point and simple

[@paveljer3694]

Usually, the main cable leading from a battery to the starter is (+), i.e. positive while (-) is taken naturaly via bolting to an engine. Just remark - I do not insist it is so on every each engine/starter installation. Generally great and well illustrative video, thx.

[@morganmcfarland9709]

Technically it's negative...say you for example a battery and a bulb with a red and black wire....you splice the black and add motor in between the two black wired you spliced...still makes a circuit all the starter is doing is completing the circuit

[@Murilok883]

Souu Brasileiro e adoro seus videos msm nao entendendo muito hehe. y am Murilo

[@SaladDodgerMedia]

Awesome video.

[@danielcroft7653]

Thanks very much, really useful.

[@MrOmkoi]

it was great and simple to follow but what is the actual socket size to remove the final two bolts? I've been out and bought the wrong ones

[@umoodley]

Thanks Bro. This was great and helped me 👍👍

[@BMACVAGS]

Glad it helped

[@MuntiionCars]

[@mattappleyard92]

Great video, thanks

[@juanitoherrera7338]

gracias . muy bien explicado,

[@markcross]

Thanks for this video

[@ch33ma08]

Is it the same process on a VW polo 02 plate. Because the car makes a screetching noise when it's started. VW forums say it has something to do with the starter motor needing lube. Great vid by the way

[@alikhan-uh3sq]

hiya mate, wanted to ask you if a starter motor from a DSG golf would be the same as a manual golfs? thank you.

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

Thank you, i was puzzled how to get the solenoid wire off, its a clip.

[@PaladinJenkis]

Thanks a lot for this video, I'll be changing my starter Motor soon since It's past it's lifetime and I am having trouble starting my car. One question though, can I remove it just without reaching getting underneath the car?

[@EricThompsonClimber]

Thanks for that!

[@alexandrucampina]

thanks mate!

[@benholland9240]

apart from the placement of the battery tray and air box, how different is this to the mk5 golf

[@stuartwinstanley4949]

Thanks man 👍

[@davidscanlon3458]

Hi is this the same on a 1.9 tdi bxe vow golf thank u great vid

[@rajeevanknambiarrajeevank2935]

[@aslor6262]

[@skimaticsnz]

what is the spec to replace the nuts?

[@Corkoth55]

i love your puffer vest man, '90 style ahahah

[@BMACVAGS]

Lol, Thanks man

[@sharazakhtar5887]

Hi need some advice The starter motor on my golf caught fire and has burnt the wiring around it can you point me in the right direction what the looms are called for a mk4 2003 Golf

[@Awingx1]

It may be a black cable, but it is connected to the battery positive terminal (not "negative terminal"). Good walkthrough though!

[@alexbaker8402]

Top man thanks

[@craigb4589]

This guy definitely had a joint before he narrated this video, still incredibly helpful though!

[@AkhonaNgquba]

I have a 2006 VW Polo. I am almost done removing the starter (all the bolts are loose) but I am struggling with the top bolt (screw). It catches against the gear mechanism (these screws are quite long). I have tried putting it in all the gears to check which one will give it the clearance but I have failed. How do I remove it? Thank you

[@yurchikbelov1]

Thank you

[@stanofedak2789]

Good work

[@juanchoserna8391]

Good video but here Some improvements to it: 1.- the negative lead from the battery should be removed first (to avoid accidental sparks) 2.-the battery case has another bolt ( metric 10) at the rear back linking it to the air case. Notice its mounting and be careful not to drop it. 3.- the cables are held together with a plastic piece that is attached to an L shaped metal part screwed (13 mm) to the upper bolt that holds the motor ( 18 mm). Quite tricky today slip out. 4.- There is another bolt to be removed to release the air conditioned pipe from the starter motor ( they are linked by a metal part to the lower bolt). Be sure to use the appropiate tools as even not being a difficult job, can be tricky to unscrew some bolts due to lack of room.

[@BMACVAGS]

Duly noted. Thank you for watching

[@juansalazar9509]

thanks man, excellent..

[@BMACVAGS]

Thanks for watching

[@Dozey48]

thx bro

[@ItzSnelling]

Is there anything else attached to the starter motor power wire that is connected permanently to the battery terminal?

[@vaneha8669]

good job

[@simoncooper9916]

Just been given a 2003 caddy, its been sat for about 9months and its having problems starting! I've turned it over twice so I know I can runs. But then it just dies! I turn the key and I just get a single click and another single click on release? Do you think it could be a starter motor issue or would you check other things first? Many thanks

[@pasharose9156]

Is it the same for getting a vw polo 1.0lt out on 2000

[@azdkhay4262]

think you you r excellent.

[@davisito085]

Is this the same Procedure on a 2007 Audi A3 2.0t
