Have anyone any ideas why my Mk4 lost its lust for starting?
It turns engine sloooowly, and after 10 seconds battery seems to be empty.
Well, I got a new one, and charged it for 12 hours, but there was no
effect. I also short cut with heavy cold start cables from the battery to
the solenoid and from the engine to body to find out if there was extra
resistance in cabels, but no help.

The starter motor is quite new, about 2 years. Well, my engine has a bad
habit to start slowly (10 - 20 seconds) when cold. I have not pulled the
starter out, if there might be some funny little fault I have not thought
about. Any ideas?
