What's wrong with it? Could just be a worn bellhousing bush.

the solinoid doesn't seem to be working...starting took a few attempts until it finally wouldn't trigger the starter at all...only option i've found so far is $350 for a recondition one...oh well...useless without it

Seems to be the problem with most of the starters I have seenpsimitar wrote:What's wrong with it? Could just be a worn bellhousing bush.
Yes, it can be a bugger to change if the motor is in
But it is $10 instead of $350.
Bet you it has never been changed
But if solenoid doesn't engage - just dead when key turned. This could be problem.
A bushless starter also fixes the problem.

You should also check for 12v at the solenoid. The ign switch takes a fair bit of current and the start contact wears from electrical arcing over the years to the point it can no longer carry enough juice to power the solenoid.
$350 is also a joke for a recon. All a recon entails is new/overhauled solenoid, new rear bearing and new brushes. Did my Corolla starter for under $50 🙂

When you get the shits with the old vw starter there is a guy on the manxclub that makes adapters for a subaru starter to fit, they are a really good product and a lot easier to get bits for, Manxiberty is his name. Or Steelart.com.au is his site.
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!

Sure he can find a solenoid if that's broken. Rest is very straightforward. Good luck 🙂

I was gonna say a cranky kit is less than a reco VW starter and works 100x better.vduboy wrote:When you get the shits with the old vw starter there is a guy on the manxclub that makes adapters for a subaru starter to fit, they are a really good product and a lot easier to get bits for, Manxiberty is his name.
