Here's the situation...My audi (86 4000 quattro) is sitting in my parents
drive way, dead. I drove to visit the fam in the boonies on the olympic
peninsula from portland oregon and the car sat in the driveway without bein=

started for several days. My girlfriend and I decided to leave. Packed
up and wandered out to the car and cranked it. It cranked twice (didn't
start) and then acted as if the battery didn't have enough of a charge to
crank any more. I jumped the car and it still won't start. It just
clicks and doesn't crank. I feel that the starter is now dead but wanted
to confirm before I remove it. Also I was hoping for a bit of advice on
removing it if it's bad. I've gone through the archives and not found any
definitive answers so I am asking for help from the infinite knowledge of
the list.

Thanks in advance,
Chris Franz (stranded in the boonies)
