hey everyone, i know im gunna feel like a jackass, but im gunna tell you all anyway.
the starter motor is fine, it was the dead battery.
before you all roll around on the ground laughing, just lemme explain...
my mum lent me her Shit box Holden. to fix up the front bumper bar, and i left it sit for a month. the battery went flat, so i used my beetle to jumpstart it.
jumpstart worked, drove the beetle into the shed and took mums car back to her, 3 hours drive away.
after the xmas break, i came back home 4 days later and drove the beetle to my gf's place. i went to get fuel, pressed the start button, nothing.
i push started the beetle home, she drove home fine. then i got to my place, and then she wouldnt even push start. so because iv had the same symptoms before, and the battery is less than 3 months old, i thought it was the same problem as before, the starter.
as it turns out, my $200 battery is dead again.
so anywho, long story short, i dont need the starter motor any more.
type3disease, if you still want some work done, i'd be happy to help. can talk if you want to
