3S-GTE Starter Motor

[Audi]

Now this shows my total lack of mechanical knowledge but where is it in my ST-185 engine bay?

[deaf_rattle]

i cant remember off hand where exactly in the bay it is but it will be attached to the gearbox

[Audi]

good thing the engine bay is so spacious and uncluttered then!

[deaf_rattle]

its not that bad, you could always follow the positive lead from the battery to it?

[Twolitre]

Under the top radiator hose, remove the battery and intake plumbing to the turbo, move the fusebox out of the way and it's right there, two 14mm bolts holding the sucker in besides the obvious posotive and negative terminals.

Ok my bad, there's one positive terminal and a plug.

it should be close to the flywheel - i'm a bit concerned if it isn't. but flywheel should be found where the clutch or gearbox join to the engine

You still having issues with it Stu? Is it not engaging, or just being a general intermittent piece of shyte?
