right,

i have a polo 9n (mk6?)

my starter motors been making a weird squeeking noise for a few seconds when first starting the engine

i was told this is to do with dust and dirt getting caught up in it

but when i tried starting my car yesterday morning i got nothing.

originally thought i was the battery but replaced that and no luck

i am going to take off the starter motor myself and just want to know exactly where its located

i took a few pics of where i think it is so just want some1 to clarify this I'm I'm right

also when removing it....what do i need to watch out for?

i assume i should unplug the battery

is it just a matter of a few bolts holding it in place?

any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Chris

that looks like the solenoid, most likely attached to the top of the startermotor

cheers i thought so

theres 3 bolts on the side i need to take off

got 2 off but the others been a proper biatch

gotta use torx bits too which doesnt help the matter!
