[Vwdiesel] Starting? (fwd)

[Val Christian]

I don't mean to be overly repetitious but I got a starter for my TDI
which was about $90, and was a 1 kW starter, or something smaller, at least.
Fit fine, just didn't have the kick in the winter.

Probably 30 hours of effort later, I determined that the parts catalog
was wrong, and got the correct starter, I think a 7703 (manual transmission)
rebuild for $130.  The outfit I got it from warranties it for life,
so it was a reasonable approach.

The correct starter was a 2 kW starter.

The only starters I've rebuilt in recent years are tractor starters.  The 
car ones are just too common, and relatively inexpensive.








--------------------------------------------

I'm going to call a local rebuilder in the morning.  O'Reily's website
shows a rebuilt for $90 here in Kalifornia.  And as Loren points out
I'm dubious that it's even for a diesel.
