Starter motor Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

Its a pretty simple swap. Everything can be done from above no need to jack the car up, takes maybe 30 minutes to swap.

Get a bosch starter from amazon, any starter you get from a parts store is going to be shit quality. Bosch, or one direct from gm are the only good ones.

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

Stick with Bosch if possible, get the autostick (SR17X) starter and eliminate bushing issues.

I guess I\u2019m in the minority, but I like the feature. I don\u2019t know how you clowns all drive, but it saves quite a bit of gas in city driving and at least in my Tiguan it seems to work well. I\u2019m still on my original battery and starter at 99K miles, which is more than I can say for some cars with conventional starters I\u2019ve owned.

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.

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

I changed the starter motor for a Bosch starter in April 24 but after a few months the issue came back.

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"!

i bought a britpart 2,25 starter as it was oem. The starter was branded Bosch but it lasted a week and it drew 600A and turned over slow.
