  • 1999 GTI - Replaced Starter 2x due to Wetness

    My '99 GTI got some water in hull, when I lowered lift without drain plugs in. Only filled up about 6-8" deep in hull.
    I remembered and lifted it right up and drained out. It started and worked fine. Few days later would not start.
    Removed starter & was wet and kinda rusted up and not working. Removed starter, blew out stator housing and blew
    fan in it for a day. Installed new starter. This new starter did same thing - was wet, and died.
    Should I take off stator cover? Is there any way water can
    get in stator housing from motor? Anything else I should check? Thanks,
Working...
