200tdi in s3 not starting

tried this in 200 section wasnt brilliant feed back,

my 200 isnt turning over fast enough to start, tried jumping of td5, and others wont turn it any waster, tried a jump lead from battery -ve to bell housing, no luck,

just tried changing starter to one i have ( known to be lazy) and still no luck... any ideas ?

when you jump start use earth as you have to engine not neg on battery ,perhaps both starters are poor ,pos lead poor ,is it very noticeably slow or just doesnt start

If you knew the starter was lazy why bother fitting it??

Hi what does it sound like when cranking? could it be you have 2 duff starters or worst case scenario have you checked to see if your valve gear is moving! hope it's just electrical.

yeh it was running so i guess valve and everything uptop is ok,

turns really slow, doesnt start, i changed it as i only remebered about the starter when i tried it again ...
can you say that earth bit again ? dont under stand

Put the -ive directly from the battery to the engine block.
