On my gen1, when mine was going out I replaced with the s2 starter from autozone "Duralast Starter 19407". Have had no issues since.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: 19407
Well I began taking apart the car and removing the starter and found that a part of it was bent. I'm not sure if that's the solenoid or what it's called but I'm pretty sure it's the reason the car wouldn't start.
Pros: reason car wouldn't start
Cons: part of it bent
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I’ve always trusted Autozone with parts and so far haven’t had any issues so I’d recommend duralast. I used two duralast starters before and they’ve worked fine.
Pros: worked fine
So, replaced the starter, and that was that issue.
Pros: issue resolved

I got a starter from Autozone 3 times and finally got one that would start the next day as well. I bought the first one from AZ and it was the Duralast Gold for the lifetime warranty. When I installed the first one it worked for the entire day no problem then the next morning the car wouldn\u2019t start mind you I changed the battery a week prior. So I took it out went back to AZ swapped it out put the new one back in and I worked 5 times until I went to run errands and the car wouldn\u2019t start. Went to a different AZ and swapped it out\u2026 now I\u2019m on the 3rd going 2 days strong.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Cons: failed quickly, multiple replacements
At this point I figured the starter was just busted. I had one overnighted and installed it the next day to no avail.
Cons: did not fix issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I pulled the starter, but the auto parts store was not able to test it. I bought a new one, installed it and still nothing.
Pros: new starter installed
Cons: still nothing

Volkswagen
Volkswagen did something similar with the starters on the 70's/80's Rabbit -- They installed it mere inches from the exhaust, which led to premature solenoid failure. I installed a solenoid bypass button and mounted it under the dash after the 3rd starter replacement in 5 years.
Pros: solenoid bypass button installed
Cons: premature solenoid failure
