When your Volkswagen Touareg's starter motor is going bad, you might notice a whirring or rapid spinning noise when you turn the key, or you could just hear a clicking sound indicating that the engine isn't engaging. Your first step is to ensure that your battery has enough power for the starter to work. Then, check that the wires in the wiring harness are intact and inspect the starter relay. If these checks are done and you're still having issues, it could be worth trying a pre-owned starter to confirm the problem before investing in a brand new one, which costs $640.00 at VW's official parts website (part number 077911023J).
If you're having trouble starting your VW Touareg, you might find it hard to start the engine even with the headlights on, and hear a clicking noise when you try to turn the key in the ignition.
