A8 don't start

[diagnoza_auto2000]

less discussion, more work, an indicator lamp connected to a fine starter cord and watch it catch fire when the turn ignition key to start position, if indicator lamp lights up, the problem is the starter, if not,try find why not come to power from ignition key contacts to the starter, it can be automated gerbox relay contacts That makes the starter turn at the P and N positions, etc.... you can try put positive voltage directly from batery to starter solenoid +50 contact, and you see starter works or no
soffry from bad english

Yes you right with the lamp but this hapen only in the morning and only with the first start.
Sow i don t have acces to do that.
As i run most of time in the city and i start/stop the car evry days a lot of time i think my starter its tired.
If the realy of selector level is fail you will not hear solenoid never.

maybe, or maybe no you can conect to starter 50 terminal second wire, when you have acces, and bring to the salon, now you can try measure this with cold mashine morning from inside

[djwaldemaras]

never say never, look on the other side

if the solenoid is ticking, that would suggest the "hold in" winding is ticking - suggest the brushes are worn out - unless it has a sticky brush and 3 is not enough to make it run.

Starter off, whip the lid off it.

[djwaldemaras]

Brushes tend not to change attributes of a change of temperature

"hold in" winding is not ticking with worn brushes

What a nice word, no but if the armture needs more currant when cold (early Ford Transit) and the brushes are only just making contact

"hold in" winding is not ticking with worn brushes

Not the winding ticking, but it's wants to start but it can't - the holdin winding will try and pull the plunger in, but got no chance

I think tomorw we have the real answer of the problem.
Maiby the brushes is not make enough contact.
I speak with a friend ,he repairs starter ,and he will help me when i have it in my hands
Today its not sow cold outside and i was to start it ,and car started after 2 times of tick.
Thanks for all the answers.

if start after "after 2 times of tick" i guess it's bee contacts problem in starter solenoid, anyway good an cheap repair for you communicating how did

OR the guy is not full programmed with Inglish and he means TURNS (of key)
if was contacts in starter then why does it go with a hump?

[djwaldemaras]

ok if you had my neighbor, your tissue would be repaired the day before yesterday good luck

[diagnoza_auto2000]

Yes ,you right i can t speak sow good english but i try
I mean i turn one time the key i hear tick.
Then i turn again and tick.
Then i wait few seconds ,i turn and car start

I have too agree with the test light suggestion that djwaldemaras posted on the first page. That should be the first thing the shop does to test the system.

Nobody wants there car off the road longer than needed. The time/cost ratio will probably help you decide whether to rebuild or replace the starter.

don't we all, but is it one of them starters you can't get at.

Had a Vulva 850 V6 IMPOSSABLE to get the the trigger wire without removing starter, so removed starter, 15 mins, stripped tested ok, refitted with a test trigger wire , never see car again - so pleased.
