just wandering how you get the top bolt off the starter motor on 2.0l Aircooled. Is it the weird shaped one on a diagonal to the bottom bolt? and what tool do I need to remove it?
looked in wiki but cant find much info on the removal of this bolt.
many thanks

When you re-fit the starter make sure the trigger wire on the solenoid is a tight (& clean) fit. If the spade connector is a bit loose it'll fall off after a few days and the starter won't spin up.
