When I got into my 16v at lunch, I turned the key and the cranking was =
screeching much like worn belts.. UGGHHH!
It actually started and ran without problems. An hour later after lunch =
the starter was even noiser and laboring much like when the battery is =
drained...(though the battery is less than a year old and of the highest =
cranking amps available). I'm sure I'll have a better idea when I leave =
in a few minutes...
The thing is, it just happened all of a sudden. No warning, no =
nothing...Welcome back to Scirocco ownership, folks!
Looks like I'm driving the cabby for the rest of the week (not a bad =
thing except that my stock cat-back has rusted apart - can you say =
header? (well, not really...)
