> Does anyone have any tips on changing a starter motor on and 16v golf?
Be sure to support the engine, since the front starter motor bolt also secures the engine to the front motor mount. If you use a jackstand (the easiest way), stick a flat piece of wood between it and the oilpan to spread the load evenly. Otherwise you risk putting a dent or hole in the pan (losing your oil on the freeway would be a bad thing). Also, be sure to get a motor rebuilt by Bosch, and use a new starter bushing in the transmission case (the Bosch motors should come with one).
