The Denso part number for the starter is: 280-6006. Do not use a generic one from the parts store. Denso is the only brand I would use for starters.
Pros: only use Denso
Cons: do not use generic
Part number: 280-6006
I installed a 02J VR6 starter after cleaning up and regreasing the the bendix and solenoid. Testing of the starter:
Pros: cleaned, regreased, tested
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
some starters may have a resistor bypass connection.. that when the solenoid plunger is pulled in.. the R terminal is connected to cranking battery power.. this wire is hooked to the coil positive.. where the other wire to the coil positive comes thru a resistor.. this allows the coil to get higher voltage while cranking.
Pros: higher voltage while cranking
So for those who want to know a mk4 tdi manual starter does fit in a mk4 1.8t manual car! The starter is a bit longer so make sure you have clearance for it. It fit fine in my car but it's a mk2 so not sure if there is clearance issues in a mk4. I had to adjust my boost piping a bit to not hit the longer starter but, that's no big deal. Keep in mind this starter cranks like a mother ****er but, does require a strong battery in some cases more cranking amps. My car doesn't get driven much so the battery wasn't at it's full capacity so I charged it up and she cranked like hell!
Pros: cranks like a mother
Cons: requires strong battery

Volkswagen Golf
MkIV 2.0 auto trans starter. Bolts right up to an 020. Spins the engine faster than the original did. And, it's smaller and lighter, too. I put one in my Scirocco a few years ago, when I replaced the trans & clutch.
Pros: smaller, lighter, spins faster
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
So, after a fun summer and fall of some great worry free driving something came up.... it wouldn't start properly. So naturally I took the battery to advanced auto parts to test it, it worked fine and passed, then tested the starter, and was reading a bit slow, can't quite remember the cranking speed but it was in the low 100's RPM. So after days of having to pop start the car, yes I know.... poor clutch! I got a brand new REMAN Bosch starter, and installed it. For the next two days it started just fine
Pros: started just fine
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The starter in my GTI died and I had to push start it. It worked fine but I had a few lights on the dashboard (ESP and something else I think). The starter was the only thing wrong with the car so I think the lights were related to not turning the key to start it.
Pros: worked fine
Cons: starter died
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've already replaced the starter 2 time in the last 3 years, with a rebuilt Bosch starter. I don't think a rebuilt starter should go bad this fast. I put about 15,000 miles a year on the car. Even a chepo starter from the local parts store should last longer than that. So I'm done with Bosch.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 45000 km
In the process of rebuilding my starter too since the Bosch Reman I bought crapped out on me.
Cons: crapped out
