I am asking because my 1988 cabby has the 1.6 EW engine but the previous owner put the 1.8 gti 8v flywheel on, as i recently discovered, when i had to change the clutch disk.
Can the 1.6 starter with the 1.8 flywheel explain the difficulty in starting every day, especially when it is cold?
If the car sits for a week, the only way for the car to start, is by cranking the engine with the transmission in reverse so as to move a few centimeters back and then to press the clutch pedal and fire up the engine.
The battery is fairly new and i tested for parasitic drain with negative results.

1.6 starter should have no problem with 1.8 flywheel, its probably just old or your battery cablign needs cleaning up
