Bosch is just fine. I replaced my starter with a Bosch reman a few years ago, still working flawlessly.
This is 100% your starter motor. The solenoid isn't pulling the starter motor gear off the flywheel fast enough so it grinds. Gets worse in colder weather. The fix is a new starter motor
Subaru knew their customers were gonna pitch a fit about this so they way overbuilt the starter. It’s rated for 260,000 starts which breaks down to a little over 70/day every single day for 10 years. It’s also physically much larger than the standard starter from previous generations.
Bosch has been just fine for me. I also had to replace my starter, go with a brand new bosch unit and youll be fine for a loooong time. Cant beat OE quality.
if its a manual grab the mk4 auto starter Starter Motor Bosch SR0407X fits perfect, starts faster, lighter, and slimmer,
I would pick a Denso, a Bosch, or maybe an AC Delco.
Cheap starter. 4yrs isn\u2019t bad. Get OEM or Bosch
i bought a britpart 2,25 starter as it was oem. The starter was branded Bosch but it lasted a week and it drew 600A and turned over slow.
So I sent it on a nice Bosch one. That lasted 3 months and just failed today.
I recently had to repair my Bosch starter after hearing a weird noise while driving. It ended up that the starter drive would not return back so the drive gear was rubbing against the ring gear.
