80 w/auto starter problem

[Chuck Hill]

I'm getting a pretty red 1988 Audi 80 with automatic ready for my little
sister.  The starter needs to be replaced, and looking at it, or rather
trying to, I'm at a loss as to where to begin.  I do have the Bently
manual, but it doesn't have any mention of how to access the starter.
The starter is above a motor mount, beneath the exhaust manifold and
heat shield, behind the AC compressor, and is almost totally concealed.
I'm wondering what I'll have to remove and how to go about this job.
I've never seen a starter built in so well.

My father told me to start at the left taillight.  Chevy man.  I didn't
reply.

TIA,  Chuck Hill
