My 1994 940 has begun to make an odd noise when starting. The starter will engage, and the engine start, then a sound like a loosly spinning gear slowing down is made. It is quite loud, and can be heard inside and outside of the car. Obviously something is not right.
Based on this sketchy (!) information, has anyone experienced something like this with their 940/740? And, if so, what was the cause and correction?
My impression is that the starter is becoming "hung" and still spins after starting the engine, or the return spring/system on the starter is not retracting the gears properly. In either case it seems that the starter needs to be replaced.
Before I break out the socket wrenches, does anyone have any experience with something like this?
