My starter's guts started coming out and I am looking for options. The lighter, high torque starter from Pelican Parts sounds good but good god it's pricey. Has anybody had experience with this Nippondenso unit I am seeing on ebay?

i got one but haven't installed it yet. It looks like it will fit OK. The nose is shorter and it is not a billet machined part like the more expensive one I have seen. If it works, then who cares.
I remember reading something about a problem with some VW style gear reduction starters that did not work on our car but the ebay seller says it will work. Why would I not believe a friendly ebay seller? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I'll let you know. |

I use that same starter on my V8 car. Works great. I had one on my yellow car also. It doesnt sound like the stock starter and spins faster.

Got one from that seller and like it. Quick shipping. Was tired of dealing with the Bosch (giant heat sink) starter problems I have had to occasionally inconveniently deal with over the last 25 years of owning different air-cooled VW‘s. Decided to try something new and am glad that I did. John
