VW Passat TD '95 - Starter Motor - Negger
I replaced the starter before Xmas with a brand new non OE from Europarts. Worked well for about a month, then armature span but starter didn't engage - had to disconnect battery to stop it spinning! This hasn't happened since, but since then motor appeasr to stick. I can hear solenoid clicking, but it suits itself when it wants to engage. Usually rocking while in gear will release and will start OK.
Any suggestions as to cause or solution, or should I get motor replaced ?
Many thanks

Either a faulty starter motor or a worn ring gear on the flywheel.
