It sounds like the solenoid is bad. I would recommend just purchasing a quality rebuild. Except for Syncro's, a starter is easy to change on a Vanagon. Should only take about an hour. Don't for get to disconnect the battery for safety. Dennis -----Original Message----- >From: vanagon@lenti.med.umn.edu On Behalf Of Michael D.

It is hard to turn the key and tap the starter at the same time not to mention lyingg on the ground every morning is begining to lose it novelty. I read in Bently that it can be rebuilt. Has anyone rebuilt startes or is it better off to find a newer one and install it. I would like to rebuild and install it myself if it can be done fairly easily. Thanks Mike
