The starter is a rebuilt BOSCH which I stated above.

After testing, 14.8 v at the starter when cranking is better than the .7 volt drop before! and now there's no battery drain!
We got the battery tested - it's fine. Tried tapping the starter, but still no joy.
Yes - works great, spins the engine so easy. And no stupid bearing to mess with to boot.
This thing turns it over very easily - good move. Old vs. New: The new one is a little longer, but my car has never started so easily.
One replacement Bosch starter later and it fired up almost immediately.
these are remanufactured VW/Bosch parts redistributed by autozone. IMPORTANT!!! the whole job took me aboiut 3 hrs....cause i'm a newby VW garage mechanic, but it went off/on with no issues really. she starts better than ever. the starter is smooth as hell.
Go for the reman Bosch. They should call it Neverlast or Durajunk
Just get a Bosch rebuilt starter. Others will work, but after 4 brand x's (local rebuilders), I went with Bosch and it's so much better. Strong motor, strong sub-zero cranking, everything's strong now.
