Re: Starter motor getting too hot

Will take some pics tomorrow. It's going back to my vw mechanic in the morning, so I'll ask him to shed some light on the situation :-)
Thanks

Re: Starter motor getting too hot

Thanks, Yes I think you're right about the tinware, I've just looked on ebay! So they're only for air cooled...would they do the same job on water cooled or is it assumed you don't need them?

Hi, I have a 1990, 2.1l, water cooled T25 camper which does not like starting when hot. It turns over, but won't fire up (sounds a bit like a dead/low battery at this point) but once the engine has cooled, it starts no problem. It always starts from cold first time.
