Hi guys,
thanks for the quick and lot of response on my starter problem. I'm
quite shure it isn't the battery voltage (quite new battery and correct
voltage - I checked it) and neither the cdi-unit (checked that thing
too).
I'm afraid it is the brushes (or however the correct term for this
things may be in english) of the starter - that's what I already
suspected.
I knew that way of "starting with the help of a hammer" already from the
old Opel Kadett of a friend some 13 yers ago (We once had to do it on
the airport of Samedan near St. Moritz in Switzerland. In front of a
bench with some airforce vetterans the car refused to start - so we did
it like you would start an old plane. My friend in the car - me in front
with the hammer. After calling "Ignition", "Contact" I hit the starter -
and the engine ran. We had some aplause after this procedure :-)))
But I never ever would hit my beloved @ with a hammer!!! :-))) So I'm
afraid I'll have to get the starter out and fix it - sh..!
Servus, Micha };-)
