I accidentally start the car while it was already running. I was on the gas station. The engine was very quiet thats why I did not notice that it was already on.
It already happennes twice. Did it made my car a damage on the starter of flywheel? Thank you.

Hi there,

We have all done this at some stage, you should not of caused any damage, a little bruising of the starter bendix ( thats the bit that engages the ring gear to start the engine turning) asc long as there is no strange noise when starting normaly, things should be fine. But remember, if you do this to often, you will have a problem down the road.
