I destroyed a starter this way many years ago and was talked into a rebuilt starter because of it. I always regretted not trying to fix it and wondered if I could have succeeded. That happened in the years when I was first thinking about doing my own repairs. I think I would have done it myself except for the fact that I was very inexperienced and it was terribly cold outside and I needed to get the car running quickly. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
