How do i change the starter motor on a vw lupo?

firstly you need to disconnect the live power lead from the battery, usually a red wire. when this is done, remove the other cables, marking them so you can replace them correctly.then you will have to remove the bolts holding the motor in place. to get at the bottom two or three, you will have to remove the lower part of the heatshield on the exhaust, if there is one fitted to your car.this is held on by four ten millimetre nuts.once all the bolts are removed, you will have to lift and slightly rotate the starter motor, at the same time pulling it rearwards. it is a bit of a fiddle,and the exhaust downpipe can get in the way, but perseverance is the order of the day here.replacement is the opposite of removal.as always,whenever removing electrical leads, be careful not to arc across terminals with your spanners, the result will come as a shock!hope this helps.
