anyone got a good used starter they can sell me cheap?

I have 73 914 2.0 car with a 1.7 installed.


thanks
Joe

Joe.. you may have a hard time finding one.. most of the time we turn them in as a core when buying a new one.

You can buy a rebuilt starter at ANY auto parts store near you.

Tell them you have a 68 type3 VW Fastback with a automatic.

Or tell them you have a 1973 VW bus 1.7.

The starters are cheap.


B

Anyone using the "high- torque" starters?
And who has them the cheapest?

Paul

Pick up a Hot VW's issue and thumb thru it. You can find them for 179.00-189.00$. We use them on the V8 conversion cars.


B

The same one's our freinds in Vegas sell for close to $300???

Thom

You got it Thom. The most I have ever paid is 225$ and it was a local shop and I needed it NOW.


B

Here's one for you.
Might work too!
Starter on Evilbay

Denied. Wrong starter. Our starters are NOT supported on one end like the Bug starter. Our starters are SR17X. Which was used in all the automatic VW's and 90% of the later buses.

Nice try. Thanks for playing.


Alex, can I have the next contestant.


Just busting your balls for no apparent reason.


B

LOL - just tried....
I don't even have an engine in my car let alone a starter...some day though, I will learn!

And we have a winner !! Vanna can you show our lovely contestant Paul what he has won ??

"Sure Pat".. "Paul has won an all expense paid trip to the end of his driveway to take out the trash next Monday". This trip includes waving neighbors and freindly trash men" .


B

Is there a difference in the direction they spin?

'Cause their mounted 180 degrees from a VW?

Am I right?

Paul

No direction change. Doesnt matter where the engine is mounted... the engine still spins the same way.

B

You're right. dumb question.
I just had a Coke.

Paul

I held back from busting YOUR balls cause I like you car..LOL


B

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately my mechanic got impatient & ordered a rebuilt one.

So is a Bosch AL75X the wrong starter?

DOH! my bad.

I picked up a 68 911 starter from the local German auto wreckers here in Boring for $25. Works great & ended my hot start problem.
