My '91 Syncro is having starting problems. Some times I turn the key and it starts fine, others times it make a sound like it is trying to start but won't. It is obvious from the turn of the key that the engine is not going to turn over. Over the past two weeks I have figured out how to temporarily solve the problem. By opening the engine compartment and turning the engine belts about 2 inches it starts fine. I was told that it may be the starter solinoid or it could be that the gear on the starter or fly wheel is missing teeth. I am a new Vanagon owner and not very familiar with it yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! rich
