when it rains it pours. headlights then hoses now starter. Does anyone know if the starter is fixable or do I have to replace it? Is it a job I can do or not? Does anyone have a diagram of the starter? I think the contacts need cleaning. All replies are greatly appreciated cause they help me keep the 93 gs 300 with 225000 km on the road.

 

I have a spare starter if you need one. It's a pretty easy fix if you have a lift. It's only two bolts, a nut holding on the wire and a clip. You will find it on the driver side right where the motor meets the trans.

 

thanks for the offer I may take you up on it.

 

How can you tell that your starter went out?

 

It's the contacts in the starter. They fixed it at the dealer cheap. I turn the key in the ignition and it would just click. It would not turn over. after a couple of tries it would turn over. But it started to click more frequently.
