Intermittend Starter issues Polo Vivo 1.4

Yip problem sounds sounds like it's on the starter motor.
Lose wire
Relay

They replaced the whole starter motor two months ago as well.

I did ask them to please check the wiring from the battery to the starter motor, but they did not replace it. The job is still under warranty, I'll ask them to check the wiring again.

Can you at least insist that they replace the wiring this time, or at the very least remake the terminals, something is intermittent somewhere on the wiring, hence when you play with them the car starts. If you don't come right this time maybe it's time to get your hands dirty and try to fix the problem yourself, after all you are the one who witness all the strange things happening and the car spend most of the time with you.

Are you sure there isn't any immobiliser/alarm or something installed in the car that you don't know about?

It is a second hand car, so maybe, I contacted the dealer and he will ask the previous owners.

I also called the mechanics who worked on it previously, they said the warranty only applies if something is wrong with the starter motor, what I feel is wrong, I did not ask them to replace the starter, I asked them to fix the starting issue. I will not go back to them.

I suspect it must be the wiring, hence fiddling with it causes car to start again. I'm am taking the car on Thursday to a guy who a buddy of mine refered me to, hopefully he will look at the wiring.

Believe me, if I had any clue about how cars work I would try and fix it myself, but I'm afraid I'll cause more damage
