Starter Motor
What’s the life expectancy of a starter motor?
2002 Jetta 1.8 GLS Auto-5spd about 72K mine seems on it’s way out as it needs few taps now and again before it will make contact and start engine.
Thanks.
FYI: Local VW dealer wants $450 + tax to repair and can’t get to it until next week. I’m checking with local mechanic.

- ok I’ll reply to myself…
local mechanic said that nuts & bolts on starter were shaking apart and other loose parts.
Installed new starter that could only get from VW. $258 for part, $140 labor, + tax – happy holidays!
