914World.com _ 914World Garage _ starter or nonstarter

Posted by: jacksun Sep 13 2014, 01:12 PM

hi,

took the starter to oriellys and to auto zone and both said that the

starter could not be tested in their tester. the tester machine stated that

the starter could only be tested while installed in the car.

the starter is a Bosch VW 003 911 023 A

not sure what starter to buy if that is what I need to do.

any and all assistance is appreciated.

would like to know the status of the starter before I upload the engine back into

the car.

tks

randal

Why not just hook up the leads to a battery?

Yep. Use jumper cables, from bat neg to starter case, and bat pos to large pole on starter. Then use a screwdriver and jump starter large pole to starter spade terminal. Or, touch cable from battery positive to large pole and spade terminal at the same time.
