Hello!
First sorry for writing in English but my German is bad/not fluent. If this is a problem I will get a friend to translate it for me.
Here's a problem with my Twingo. (96, still has the C3G engine)
When I try to start it, it doesn't fire up on the first try, just makes a sound like in the video. Then on the 2nd or 3rd or 10th try it starts. A few times I couldn't start it after 20 tried so I pushed it and dropped the clutch from 2nd gear and it started right away.
Is this a starter problem? I've been looking at starters on eBay, are they the same on the D7F engine? (from 1996 forward) Will it fit the C3G? Or can I fix this starter I have currently? I know it's on the back of the engine and hard to reach on C3G so I haven't looked at it yet.
Here's the video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r9gc5qe5mhwkvs....01.52.mov
Thanks for your help. I tried searching the forum but my limited German doesn't help (and Google Translate isn't that good)
