Hey everyone-
I have been experiencing issues with the Bosch rebuilt starters. I have gone through three in the last 5 times I have taken the car out and it's beginning to get pretty old having to pull the starter and replace it almost every time I take the car out. I know that the high torque starters are probably a better/more reliable option. I guess my real question is could it be something that is wrong with the electrical system causing these problems or is it just a case of poor quality of the rebuilt starters? Thanks in advance for any feedback. |

These older cars have issues with the electric connectors.
The starter has a very large copper wire that can get corrosion collecting on the ends. Find all the connections and clean them off, good wire brush. sometimes you need to remove the crimped connection clean the wire and replace the connector, make sure you get all the corrosion betweens the strands of the heavy cable. I like to acid dip the cable, neturalize and than solder the heavy cable strands as one unit, than replace connector. Sound like your voltage is being taken up by corrosion gaps. |
