I have a 2006 corolla with 350,000 miles. I had to replace the OEM alternator and starter. Transmission and everything else is original, save consumables.
I replaced the starter in my '09 with a reman Bosch back in '20. Been flawless ever since, can't say enough good things about mine.
I did an oil change and replaced my starter because my started had gone out after 270,000 miles.
I literally just did this job on my mom’s 08 528xi last weekend. I used a NEW Bosch starter (I specifically avoided remanufactured).
I just replaced my starter motor on my N210 4Runner. What you're experiencing is identical - battery is fine, clicking + no start. I replaced a door actuator just prior and had disconnected the Negative on the battery as part of the door sensing sequence and it seemed to awaken my starter issue. I too had periodic starting to none.
For me it was the starter. It was replaced a few years prior at a local mechanic and I don't know what brand they used. I got the part numbers and bought a Bosch equivalent from fcp for less than 300.\n\nI dont know exactly why and neither do the mechanics that wanted an answer if I found one. The old starter spun fast enough to start injection. Maybe just not enough power to get it past the initial revolution after firing. All I know is its been close to year and hasn't done it once since I replaced the starter. It now starts first time everytime.
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.
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.
I think the napa one is most likely to last more than 10 minutes. But my car is on its 5th starter with barely over 100k miles because the previous owners mechanic kept using anything but Bosch.
Bosch reman last 10k for me
