 :oops:recently i noticed that sometimes when i want to start her i hear a grinding metalnoise by starting, it is not always but sometimes. I said this to the dealer and he said that  it is normal if it is sometimes because of the cluth in the starter? Is this richt or shoud i search further on?
Thanks guy's

I have heard the same thing on my 03.  Just started happening.  Can't be good or normal.

Its not normal, the starter clutch is going out.

Sounds like spur/ring gear engagement if grinding noise.

I just got her bach and it is the starter clutch, they dont want to change it on warranty but i get the clutch for free but i will have to install it myself Any tips? is it difficult to do it myself.
Thanks

wouldnt you be better off to just replace the starter? Of its the original, it's 8 yrs old.  Time to replace and you will be good to go,,  That's what I did.   No more noise.

it is the original but the starter works fine

You have to pull the primary cover to do it so be sure to get all the gaskets you need.
