starter?

[Lundy, Andrew]

It could be the battery.  How old is it??  If the battery is a few years old
it's not a bad idea to replace it anyway!!

Hey all,

   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 being
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)
