Starter motor Bosch or OEM Honda
BOSCH SR4151X
We replaced the aftermarket starter with an OEM Honda one and now it starts up quickly like it should.
The car cranks like brand new with the new Bosch starter.
I would use SR0407x Bosch starter. No bushing to worry about, more powerful, lighter, and uses less amps to crank over your engine. There is nothing negative about that starter.
Make sure the starter is a Bosch oem. I recently did mine
In our shop, my dad favors a high torque auto stick Bosch reman starter but I’m at home and can’t remember the exact part number. We use it on many standard and super beetles, ghias as well. It’s great for varying terrain.
Always try to get quality brands like Bosch. They always seem to last forever and they replace anything that is worn internally too so you can almost guarantee it will last.
i also noticed that the starter is the original bosch and the positive power lead going to it has some of the insulation cut off right where the wire bends to screw to the starter.
In the process of rebuilding my starter too since the Bosch Reman I bought crapped out on me.
We got the battery tested - it's fine. Tried tapping the starter, but still no joy.
