Starter motor Bosch or OEM Honda

OEM Honda Starter motor

Honda starters are known to be finicky about voltage - they need that full 12.6v or they'll grind like crazy. I'd try a decent battery first before messing with the starter, way cheaper fix

Pros: cheaper fix, decent battery
Cons: finicky about voltage
Vehicle: Honda

Replacing the original 25 year old starter (!!) with a remanufactured Bosch part, which seems identical to the original. I am hoping to solve the intermittent no-start issue I’ve been having lately (single click when turning key). Overall the job was fairly straightforward with no major issues.

Pros: fairly straightforward job
Cons: intermittent no-start issue
Vehicle: BMW

The exact same starter from Bosch (original manufacturer for Volvo) which is what a shop would sell you because it’s the OE for Volvo is 216.99.

Pros: OE for Volvo
Vehicle: Volvo
Part number: 36003222

The only thing I hate is my civic ate a starter and replacing it myself was a POS because its under the engine. But my civic is still cheap to fix and maintain and relatively easy to work on compared to other brands.

Pros: cheap to fix, maintain
Cons: starter hard to replace
Vehicle: Honda Civic

Replaced the ignition switch with OE VW Installed a brand new Bosch starter today due to the battery terminal on the solenoid breaking off internally Thought the new starter would be the answer, but no

Pros: new starter installed
Cons: starter not the answer
