Recently when I try to start my 1.9d T4 from 1995 I only hear a clicking noise,but no start up of the engine. This tends to happen in the morning after the Van has been parked overnight. Once it starts then it starts everytime for the whole day. It can go days without this problem then 2 or 3 days in a row where it does'nt start. Sometimes it clicks 20 times and on the 21st attempt it starts up, other times it does'nt start for 3 clicks then starts on the 4th attempt ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Staring problem ?
Re: Staring problem ?
So far I remember your last topic, a couple months ago:
You have been replace the starter for a brand new one by the VW dealer in Breda, did yea?
I reckon couple options:
Bad ground connection between block & chassis. Check your ground leads on corrosion + check loose bolts.
Check the + live lead between battery & starter. Check the bolts, clean them with sandpaper, and tight them up.
A signal cable is somewhere broken, in the cable harness.
The plastic ignition switch no.5, down the ignition lock is worn-out. (Fitted in the steering column)
Part no. VW 6N0 905 865

Re: Staring problem ?
I guess it is the starter switch. I once had a similar issue. Almost had the starter exchanged but an experienced VW mechanic told me to exchange the starter switch first. I wrote a short instruction on how to.... Good luck!
