Need to service the original starter, it is the common Bosch 914 one with a short output shaft.
My spare starter is a VW411 one, also a Bosch but with a much loger output shaft reaching in to the engine case since it has no bearing for the output side which the original has. I thought the 411 one would just slip in but there seems to be no hole in the engine case for the shaft, still I can see this type be sold as a 914 starter on Ebay. Were both types used in the 914 and was the hole in the case just made when the long shaft type starter was installed? /Lars |

Cap'n Krusty knows his shit ...
SR17X (Bosch rebuilt), Lester 16300 SR68X (Bosch rebuilt), Lester 16426 Loosely referred to as the "VW automatic starter". Walk into a FLAPS and tell them if it isn't one or the other as above, IT WON'T WORK, no matter what their incorrect catalogs say (and they won't fix the problem either). You could also get one of the gear reduction starters that are sold. Japanese starters with a new nose. |
