I have a 2000 vw passat 1.8t and just installed a brand new starter. Its only clicking, it will not do anything else... There is a wire connect to the solenoid and then clip, then near the motor mount, under there is another wire... I believe is for ground, as before it was connected to the starter and the battery sparked when attempted hookup. So i mounted it to a bracket and the sparks minimized... But now upon starting, it just clicks.... Any suggestions or photos to help?

Dear Sir:
See the diagrams attached and proceed with logic system troubleshooting. Look for vibration, loose wires, dirty, dust, corrosion, solenoid defective.
God bless you

    I need you email address for to send more information inmediately. God bless you.
    The coil must be when you see the spark plug cables + the fuses in the main box located to the side of battery normally is black box. Open it. You can try to Run the starter if you make a short circuit with a pliers if you do, you will see which is the problem. My email:[email protected] , i willl be waiting.

SOURCE: Electrical Problem

The Problem is with the Microprocessor System of your Vehicle. You should Drive 3 Hrs. to the Authorized Service Station to avoid more Wreckage to other Electrical Part(s) of Car.

SOURCE: New battery in 03 VW Passat, engine turns but will not start.

Possible flooding, cold weather can freez open injectors causing them to leak into the cylinders. Press the gass pedal all the way to the floor and crank the engine for no more than 60 seconds. The cylinders will clear themselves allowing proper mix of air/fuel and should start easy. If that does not solve please specify if the engine is 1.8l or 2.8l.

SOURCE: i drive a vw jetta

Guys, what you are experiencing is the car built warning system. When your engine light blinks it indicates a Major Problem has occurred or is occurring in the engine. When this occurs the cars goes into a "safe," mode which means all power is cut by at least half in an effort to save the car from more major damage. You can take your VW to any large chain autoparts store (autozone, advance, etc) a lot of them are offering a free engine diagnosis. Do this if possible to see where the problems maybe coming from and ways to fix them.

SOURCE: 2000 Volkswagen Passat will not start

THIS ONE IS COMPLICATED ONE RELAY AND SO MANY PROBLEMS CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM
1) THE RELAY YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ON THE FUSE BOX COVER THERE SHOULD BE A CHART OF WHAT FEEDS WHAT WHAT DOES THE LID SAY IT FEEDS
2) TRY PULLING THE FUSE TO THE SUN ROOF AND DOOR LOCKS AND REPLACE THE RELAY IF IT STAYS IN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ONE OR THE OTHER. THIS COULD BET A MOTOR PROBLEM ON THE SUN ROOF OR A DOOR LATCH PROBLEM.
WE WILL TAKE THIS ONE STEP AT A TIMEIF THIS DOES NOT WORK, E-MAIL ME AT [email protected]
IF THIS DOS'NT WORK I'LL HELP YOU THE BEST I CAN WITH OUT SEEING THE CAR. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION REPAIRS AND TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THIS IS GOING TO BE EXSPENSIVE

2003 Honda Accord. Dies when I try to put it in drive

you are having a problem with your alternator. the battery has a main purpose to start the vehicle, keep computer memory, and give power to electrical components when the key is in the on position. the alternator charges the battery and gives power to electrical components when the vehicle is running. now when you hit the brakes there was an extra load added to the alternator and if the car died then the alternator is running very weak and needs to be relace.

1990 JEEP Cherokee that won't start even after a new battery

It sounds kind of like you have bad alternator. The alternator uses the engines power to recharge the battery. When you replaced the battery the car ran off battery power untill it died. If the car will run while hooked up to another car while being jump started then the problem is deffinetely the alternator..

Please give a good rating, it is very importat to us..

While your car is running, measure the voltage at your battery terminals. If the alternator is wotking, it should measure over 13 volts, since the battery is really low. On a healthy battey the voltage is around 14.5 volts when the engine is running. If the car is running and you measured 12.6 volts or less, change the alternator. I have actually worked on a lexus ls400 with exact same problem. I had rebuilt the alternator myself to save the customer on parts. Because altenator is not cheap on lexus. There is an ace hardware by my shop where they carried some carbon brush, all you got to do is file it down to fit, and solder them. Of course you have to open the alternator to do that. The brushes cost about a few bucks. You can buy these at auto parts too but not for that particular alternator. Auto parts like to make money and would rather sell you the whole thing. LOL
