Owner reviews for starter motor

With a bit of searching, you can find more information about this starter swap. I would get the newer starter. There are so many benefits of the newer starter vs putting in the old and heavy starter that the factory used. Use SR0407X [Bosch number]/09A 911 023BX. You also can use the SR0424X/020 911 023FX but it's not as powerful. The SR0407X starter is for the diesel and has about 2hp to crank over your engine. This is way more power than you will ever need. That starter also is smaller and uses a planetary gear system so it will spin the engine at a faster RPM.

Honda dealer just put in a OEM brand new one for 831 bucks. My warranty covered it. But that was the quoted price.

Recently I began having trouble with my starter. With a healthy battery, the starter was struggling to turn the motor over. Upon determining that the starter was in fact the problem, I decided to crack it open. What I found was that the brushes were worn down unevenly...The difference is incredible. It's now apparent to me that, even before I noticed my starter struggling, it had been getting slower and weaker for a long time. The rebuilt starter is incredibly energetic, and given that the brushes are the only wear part, it's not much of a stretch to say that it is now like-new.

BOSCH SR4151X

We replaced the aftermarket starter with an OEM Honda one and now it starts up quickly like it should.

I have a Valeo and I definitely noticed an increase in starting power and also less battery usage, over the (probably tired) Bosch starter.

The car cranks like brand new with the new Bosch starter.

Replaced the starter with a brand new one (Good)

You turn the key and hear the clicks but the starter does nothing!

I used to work on a lot of JCB's with Perkins engines and Lucas starters. I. Hate. Them. That's kind of how they act when they take a shit. They end up taking a huge amount of current to get them started.

All of a sudden one day I started up my car just like normal, let the glowplugs heat then bump the key just long enough to get it started, but this time and every time after, the starter grinds right as the engine fires and as it disengages the starter makes a grinding sound just like i've held the key too long even though I havent. I took the (2 month old rebuilt bosch) starter off and checked everything and its all clean, I greased everything and re assembled. Still the same. The problem is still present on the old starter, we suspected it to be the sprag clutch at napa.
