Anyway, today I've changed the starter and it's not fun really. After puting everything back the car started great, I drove it a little just to get the air off the cooling system.

Unfortunatelly when I tried to start it later today I got the same noise! I guess I'm missing teeth on the flywheel
I hope you'll have better luck!



Welcome, RPM . Before assuming the worst, check if the starter is aligned properly. You may just have not installed it properly.
