Well decided to give him a nice bath the other day and actually it might have been his first in years, since it sat for a year before i got it around xmas. Finally got it runnin better, got the idle figured out so no more shuttin down when i engage the clutch, BUT drove it to my freinds the other day to give him a ride, showed him off, stretched his legs a bit, he ran GREAT!!
So i go inside we play some ps2, then i come out to leave and go to work and it won't start!!! Just a silent nothing which is a good sign of the 2nd occurance of the flat spotted starter

Soo tapped on it with a screwdriver, tried pop startin it into gear, and to even move the gear off the flatspot but nothing so far. I heard a clickin from one relay that sits somewhat sep. from the fuse panel, and when i kept the key turned i heard the relay begin to click. So bad starter with flat spot, or bad relay? I gues first step is checkin to see if im gettin power with test light and go from there.
My guess is starter is goin bad since its like VERY old and old owner knows he never replaced it. Any guess's? Thanks guys and lemme know what u think of the P wheels from my old 2 door a2 jetta
I like em!

Re: New Pics!! (BadasslilGTI)

I had a problem like that a week ago....when I was just turning the key and I would get nothing......just silence. I checked everything starting with the battery to the starter. I figured it was my ignition switch, and it was. So I would first check my battery to see if it is fully charged, because you did say it has been sitting for awhile. It could be your ignition switch too! Good Luck

Re: New Pics!! (CrazyGreek)

Well got it started today with a last resort jump start....i dunno this thing has a weird attitude but once i got him runnin i went and stretched his legs real good and he handled it great. These cars have issues
Hmm bad ignition switch is a good possibility, i'll look into that. Thanks man.

Re: New Pics!! (BadasslilGTI)

Hey badass is that a campaign GTI. your project one?
Do you want to sell those wheels on it?
EDIT: never mind I remembered that you said you like them, hehehe.
Those wheels are very rare. I have a set but one is bent all around the edges.

Re: New Pics!! (G60Turbolet)

I'd only consider selling them if i could get my hands on some BBS's and give some additional money, or some other nice 15-16" wheels and some money. P-Wheels in nice shape are hard to come by, i know i've owned these since 87

It'd have to be one very interesting trade
Plus what do u mean about my campaign car?
lemme know....
