Starter motor Denso or OEM Volkswagen

I’d only use OE Honda or Denso branded. I used a Denso that ordered from Rock Auto.

I replaced my starter 3 times in 9 months on my rsx.

1. Buy new. I got 2 reman densos that failed within 1 month. Cheap WAI off Amazon was cheaper and new, and it's still working after 6 mo.

Get a Denso starter and you will not have to change it again throughout your ownership of the vehicle.

Go with a Denso starter if you really want quality

I used a denso starter.

It needed a battery and alternator and starter. Starter was the most difficult to do, but I didn\u2019t feel like it was horrible.

So, replaced the starter, and that was that issue.

When I had to put a starter in my 3rd gen, I went with a Denso reman. You can usually find them on Amazon. Denso is the company who originally made the starter (and many other electrical parts) for Toyota, and their reman parts are usually of good quality, in my experience.

I installed an OE Denso starter made in Japan. There the best for the 7.3

About 2 weeks ago my bike started to struggle starting when the bike was hot. It acted like the battery was dead - which was a fairly new (3months) old) Lithium Ion Shorai Battery. I replaced the LiOn with the OEM battery (that's $500 in battery's and a LiOn charger). After much research online it seems this is a known issue with the Denso factory starter motor. The brushes wear unevenly, and quickly.
