Disassembling and assembling the starter (Audi 100 C4)

As in the case of the generator, independent repair of the starter is not recommended, because before installing the starter back on the car, it is necessary to check the current consumption, starter torque, power under load and without it on a test bench. Operating experience shows that most starter malfunctions are caused by brushes.

In order to have the starter checked and repaired professionally, it is recommended to remove it and take it to a workshop. This will also help determine whether the brushes are to blame for the starter malfunction.

If you need to replace the starter, you can use a starter restored in a workshop (retractor) the relay can be replaced on the removed starter. After disconnecting the wire connections, unscrew the relay mounting bolts on the starter and remove the relay.
