andyhundley Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 so my friend has a 07 gti and he went to start his car this morning and it cranked and clicked like a dead battery so he replaced it and nothing. same thing cranks little to nothing the clicks like a bad starter. the starter going on 6 years old its possible it went bad so he bought an oem vw starter and nothing. same thing. so we took the kick panel off to get to the main relay panel to test the starter relay but we didnt have the proper diagram (in a parking lot) so we couldnt really tell whats what. but when we would wiggle the main relay panel the car would start fine but it makes a loud grinding noise like the pinion gear wouldnt disengage. would a bad ground in a relay cause this? any idea's at this point would be great thanks! the car is currently sitting in a parking lot on villard ave and needs to be taken care of asap!
