After being towed home several times for failure to start, found an intermittent wiring problem INSIDE the starter. Started fine when cold, wouldn't turn over once warmed up. Replaced the starter, end of problem.

Yes, 900994, did come with a sun roof which operates but seems to need additional help each time I use it.

Thanks for the quick reply. Twelve days ago I purchased and drove from Michigan to Wisconsin in my polo green 91. Since then I've been trying to sort out the electronic issues that infect this car. ie no cruise, lights that stay on regardless of switch position, radio that just crackles and pops, radio antenna that won't raise, etc etc etc. The start / no start makes the car unreliable and until I can find someone who knows this electronic system, I guess I bought an old lawn ornament.

When I jumped it with a "bang box" the meter on the box said 12.22 volts. I assumed that was the voltage on the jumped battery but I guess it could have just as easily been the voltage of the "bang box".

I need to find an honest mechanic that's knowledgeable in these electronic systems. With a fully charged battery mine will start fine, but drive twenty five miles, turn it off, and it won't even click the solenoid. The battery is still fully charged. Jump start it and it will fire right up. Could it be the starter or sentinel relays?

Hey Daves89, I purchased my first Reatta June 3, 2020. It's a polo green 91 with 144k and desperate TLC needs. Living in th Fox River valley means I must run two license plates. I noticed in another post that you addressed to his issue. Would you know where I could lay my hands on a front license bracket?
