VW Polo starting problem - LinuxGeek
I've got a very strange starting problem with my Mrs' P plate Polo. Couple of months ago the starter motor started playing up so I got another one from scrapyard from a VW Golf fitted it and the car started without any problem. Then few days ago the battery went totally flat and had to jump start the car. So I went and bought a new battery and then everything was back to normal. Now yesterday the same thing happend. Car started twice without any problem but when I was going to start it the third time it didn't start up and jump starting worked without any problem. Now I'm really confused whether its the alternator or is it the starter motor that's causing all this problem. Please advise.
