help with my wife's Jetta VR6
So, I've been driving my wife's car to work because it much better on gas than my truck. I get in the car in the morning and it starts just like normal. After work at about 6pm when it's nice and warm outside (in the 80s....not too hot) I get in the car and turn the key....and get nothing at all. All the lights come on and everything works. The starter doesn't even click. I sat at a gas station for 20 minutes turning the key until it all of the sudden cranked and started. About a year ago I had the starter replaced. Could it be the starter again? I believe there is some type of switch on the clutch to allow the starter to engage because you can't start the car without the clutch pushed in. The car is a 1997 Jetta VR6 5-speed. Thankfully a 5-speed because I can get it started by rolling down a hill or getting a push.
Thanks for the help,
Chris
