QUOTE(broomhandle @ Jul 26 2022, 11:52 AM)  QUOTE(TheCabinetmaker @ Jul 25 2022, 04:04 PM) There are after market replacements, but they will not accept a Porsche key. Your stuck with a vw key I purchased the Bilstein (hopefully it is correct for the 71): https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/WC/17028-01043671.html right now, I would accept a Doritos engaging the starter.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) @broomhandle reviving an older thread here- did your Bilistein brand starter switch work? i had a no start the other day , it had to push start, when i got home it restarted fine, but i don’t want to take any chances, need to replace the switch, i ordered 3 of them, Bilistein , Mahle, and standard. the first 2 are made in Germany not china so i’m hoping either will work and last fine, i did a china one a couple years ago that didn’t work for long at all, and this one was a used one i had laying around i had to put back in when the 6 month old china one fail. So just wondering if the new german ones are working fine for others? my car is. ‘75 2.0 |
