Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Starter motor

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the starter motor in the Volkswagen Golf, an operation that requires good manual skills. First of all, we open the hood, then disconnect the battery in order to work safely. We then go under the vehicle, locate the starter motor and disconnect all the various connectors in front of it. At this point, all that remains is to unscrew both the nuts of the power terminals and the fixing bolts, separate the starter motor from the support and position the replacement. To reassemble everything, just follow the reverse procedure.
