Starter motor Bosch or OEM Subaru

OEM Subaru Starter motor

I took the car to the dealership and they said it needs a new starter. It’s being covered under warranty.

Cons: part on back order

I installed the starter, which was apparently the upgrade and Bosch has since reverted back to the "old style" with the support dowel. Everything starting-wise is working great

Pros: working great
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I am now getting a Bosch from Rockauto for 25% less than the AC Delco starter from Amazon. Bosch sold me with 24 month roadside towing if the starter leaves me stranded during that time.

Pros: 24 month roadside towing

I actually replaced the starter less than a year ago with a brand new (not a remanufactured) Bosch; hopefully its not the starter.

Pros: brand new
Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

I knew it had to be the starter. I had read somewhere that Subaru starters are hard to get, and my year in particular is faulty. So today, I took it to my dealer, and they said that the starter had to be replaced. On my bill, it said that the starter was taking excessive amperage. On a video on the Tube, that version of the starter has a faulty gear which causes trouble starting the engine.

Pros: faulty gear, excessive amperage
Cons: hard to get
Vehicle: Subaru

As preventive maintenance I replaced my starter with a new remanufactured starter by Bosch, part number SR0822X. Wouldn't start after I moved it from the wash bay to vacuum the inside. I heard a click and that was it. The starter didn't try to turn the engine at all.

Cons: starter didn't turn
Vehicle: Volkswagen Phaeton
Part number: SR0822X

Again this is a brand new starter actually it's a rebuilt starter which is Bosch OEM. When I did remove the old starter and put in this new rebuilt Bosch OEM starter the car started right up. The next day I went out to start it and all I got was one loud "CLICK"!

Pros: car started right up
Cons: loud click, wouldn't start
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado
