Starter is broken. makes a loud csfscscshh sound instead of starting?

Replace starter and/or solenoid.

It sounds as though you may have a starter bendix failing or the starter bolts may have loosened. Disconnect the battery, crawl under and investigate.
If the bolts are tight, you may want to look into the cost of a new starter.

Good luck

starter may be going bad sounds kinda like a loud metal on metal grinding noise.

Sounds like the starter motor is disengaging from the flywheel or the bendix clutch in the starter motor is worn out.

Check the wires going to your starter.It sounds like you have a loose connection on the solenoid which is attatched to your starter.

i suggest removing the flywheel inspection cover, and rolling the engine over a little bit at a time, checking to make sure that there are no worn or broken teeth. also, make sure there is no lateral movement, which could indicate a broken flexplate. good luck.

MAYBE BAD STARTER , AND CHANGE THE ELECTRIC COIL

Could very well be a starter problem, but I typically suggest that one should check out the condition of the battery (may not be throwing sufficient amps to crank the starter), and then the alternator to make certain the alternator is providing enough amps to fully charge the battery.

Sounds like the starter is actually turning, just not fully engaging. when a starter dies 6 out of 10 times it's a bad selenoid (causing a loud clicking sound instead of the starter engaging). Doesn't sound like your immediate problem.

Try jump starting the Beetle. If it starts that was it's probably a battery or alternator issue. If your successful in getting the car started your local autoparts store (AutoZone, Advance Auto or O'Reillys) can test your battery and alternator for Free. Call before you go to make certain that their testing equipment is functioning.

Possible not shimmed correctly. The starter teeth have to engage correctly for the starter not to hang up. That's what probably happened & broke teeth off. You had better check your flywheel around the entire circumfrence as teeth may be missing from it as well. Starter won't engage if teeth and flywheel teeth in same spot are broken off. If the flywheel teeth are bad, it will be a spendy fix to put a new one on... Rick

I think you have a starter problem. It sounds like what you describe is the starter spinning, but not engaging the flywheel, which will result in the engine not turning over. To be sure of this, the starter should be removed and tested. Parts stores will test it for free. Let me know if u need further help. Curt
