hi all
yesterday i went i started my car and heard that skipping/starter sound(
the starter is engaged, the teeth on the bendix (drive ARE fully engaged and
not skipping /stripping on the flywheel )
the reason why i am writing ,is this has been happening for the last three
years i replaced the starter originally ? replaced it last year ( bosch
rebuilt) and am having the same problem now 1 year later
oh this happens only when its cold out side... 20 deg or less the starter
engages , skips engaged and starts the engine and when the car warms up all is
fine.
naturally i have checked the flywheel teeth 2 times now and its fine
has any body had a starter with a armature that skips in side the bendix
...???
I expect the ring gear is slipping when it's cold! It's simply shrunk
onto the flywheel - and either your flywheel or ring gear has been
damaged/stretched.
