Sticking starter motors can also be temporarily unstuck by giving the car a 'rock' but not through the windscreen. Put the car in a high gear and either rock it side to side or push it slightly. Yes, with my manuals in the past I have rocked life back into components... ...Not sure if this works on a tiptronic though🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carried an old broom stick in the boot for this 😎 Couple of years ago at Le Mans 24 Hours an LMP 2 team had a sticky starter and used the broom stick idea. They go too smart though and cut a hole on the bodywork to save some time they were losing in pitstops taking the tail section off to start the car and got DQ'd for modifying homologated bodywork... Gutting after innovating and finishing on the podium. Goes to prove that the trick works at all levels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
