Starter motor OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

The '05 Honda CR-V that was $1,200 because it hadn't run in 3-1/2yrs due to needing a $16 brush kit in the starter?

Stop putting aftermarket starters in. Get one from Honda. Not other way to stop the issue.

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.

Starter mine did the same thing, replaced starter and moved flywheel one bolt according to tsb from honda.

My original starter lasted 9 years / 215k miles on the dot. I ended up finding a brand new OEM Honda starter on eBay for $238 shipped.

Starters don\u2019t generally \u201cslow down\u201d with age, really. You\u2019ll just find that one day it quits working. I had a failed starter on a 2002 Jetta, probably at around 290-300k miles

My Passat has 370k km and is 20 years old, still on the original starter, and starts like a champ.

It's going to (probably) end up being the starter. Honda put out a bulletin for this problem with the 2.4l in this generation. P0339 on start-up gets caused by either 1)aftermarket starter or 2)slowly failing OEM starter, cranking the engine in a funny rhythm that's makes the pcm think the crank pattern is bad.

I’m about to have to change my starter on my 2015 Honda for the fourth time. My battery dies every year. I’ve changed the ignition button twice.

my 2015 Fit EX seems to be having the same problem on about the same timeline. Got the starter replaced maybe 4-6 years ago (also, starter replaced on a 3-4 year old car? Sheesh) and just this morning, lots of clicking and dash lights come on but no engine turnover.
