Well well well, it's just a roller coaster of fun over here. So tonight, I go to f-around with the starting issue with the car. Tonight I could hear the key making some sort of connection with the starter, so I thought hey maybe it's wiring. I was right (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) . I See a wire loose on the starter, so I pull all the connections clean them up, and replace them in what I believed to be the proper places. I go to hit the key and to my happiness I find the car starts, but wait what's that extra noise? It sounds like the starter is still engaged! AHAHAHA so I pull the battery cables and it shuts off. I put them back on every thing is peachey. Hit it again, same run around. Hummm. Played with the wires, nope seem to be in the right places. Argh, so I throw in the towl for tonight, and turn to you guys (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) . What do you think? This is really bizzar if you ask me.
Eric Oh on the flip side, I think if I can fix this and find the dam timing light, it's gona be a driver (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Will the VW Bus starter swap NEVER END? Won't fit, won't work. It'll bolt in, but the shaft will flop around in there. The 914/911/VW automatic starter has NO shaft protruding, while the VW manual tranny starter does. The VW style trans has a bushing in the case to accept the shaft, and that's the front support. The SR 17x, which is the correct starter for our cars, has a built in front support. This starter fits VW applications, but the VW starter WILL NOT work for us because the case DOES NOT have a front support bushing. It's got a bigass hole in the case where the bushing would go. I don't care what parts counter ignoramus told you the VW one fits or works, he's (she's) wrong! Anybody perpetrating this fraudulent information is just as wrong as the counter person. No amount of repetition is gonna make it true. The Cap'n, disappointed that this very rant took place here in the last couple of weeks. Didn't work, either! |
