99 VW Beetle

Starter Motor is easy to replace. Take approx. an hour and a half for any average DIY Mechanic. You will need a 3/4 drive Socket Wrench, 1/2 Long Socket, and an extension for the socket wrench. It should be located near your transaxle, in front of the left front tire. You may have to remove your front bumper in order to access it easier. Disconnect the electrical connector to the starter solenoid, and remove the two starter mount bolts. replace is reverse of removal. (give or take, this is a basic summary)
