Hi everyone, this is my first thread and asking for advice on a long running starting problem. When starting my 2002 STI type uk i was only getting a click noise (2 month ago) had the starter motor checked and new solonoid fitted. This fixed problem for 3 to 4 weeks and it happened again, a new solonoid fitted and i'm back where i started 3 to 4 weeks later again. I don't know if i've been unlucky or there is another problem. I think it may be worth mentioning the solonoids we not identical to the origional but at the end of the day it is just an electrical switch ? any ideas thanks or else it seems i'll have to buy a full reconditioned one
