I think most people don't have issues with hot starts, and the bosch rebuilds are pretty decent.
Pros: pretty decent
I've done my starter once, this was about 12 years ago. I did it with a remanufactured Bosch unit. I haven't heard anything about heat affecting the starters.
Its a pretty simple swap. Everything can be done from above no need to jack the car up, takes maybe 30 minutes to swap.
Pros: simple swap, easy to do
The newer Bosch and subsidiary starters use a different kind of magnet that is more fragile. Apparently, people were whacking them pretty hard and breaking the magnets, hence the sticker.
Pros: different kind of magnet
Cons: magnets more fragile
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.
Pros: Bosch starter good quality
Cons: parts store starter bad
One was from rock auto and was new Bosch. It looked different than the one in the car but matched overall length and teeth. The other one was a rebuilt bosch from advance auto. They tested it for me in house before I left. I can hear the gear spin but not engaging.
Pros: tested in house
Cons: gear spin, not engaging
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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
Pros: working great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Stick with Bosch if possible, get the autostick (SR17X) starter and eliminate bushing issues.
Pros: eliminate bushing issues
Part number: SR17X
I changed the starter motor for a Bosch starter in April 24 but after a few months the issue came back.
Pros: new starter motor
Cons: issue came back
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Colt
