Starter motor Bosch or AC DELCO

The car cranks like brand new with the new Bosch starter.

I would use SR0407x Bosch starter. No bushing to worry about, more powerful, lighter, and uses less amps to crank over your engine. There is nothing negative about that starter.

Make sure the starter is a Bosch oem. I recently did mine

In our shop, my dad favors a high torque auto stick Bosch reman starter but I’m at home and can’t remember the exact part number. We use it on many standard and super beetles, ghias as well. It’s great for varying terrain.

On an LS motor, IIRC, it's a rather easy DIY job, if you buy one outside the dealer you may be able to buy one cheaper but get a good quality one, like an AC Delco which is OEM.

Always try to get quality brands like Bosch. They always seem to last forever and they replace anything that is worn internally too so you can almost guarantee it will last.

I would get a Denso or AcDelco reman, no cheap crap since they're a bit of a pain to replace.

I would rather do it once and have it last for 100k+ than to do that repair 2x.

The starter is a rebuilt BOSCH which I stated above.

In the process of rebuilding my starter too since the Bosch Reman I bought crapped out on me.

We got the battery tested - it's fine. Tried tapping the starter, but still no joy.
