Starter motor VALEO or Duralast
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
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
I have a Valeo and I definitely noticed an increase in starting power and also less battery usage, over the (probably tired) Bosch starter.
Pros: increase in starting power
Cons: less battery usage
GERMAN AUTO PARTS got me a brand new Valeo starter for $200....just fyi for anyone who needs to buy a starter.
Pros: new Valeo starter
Cons: potential starter issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen

yeah its a pretty common thing, i my self have replaced 4 or 5 of them... do yourself a favor, go to autozone and get the duralast one. they're the same thing as the bosch and have a lifetime warranty. oh and that hasnt been the duralast ive had to replace that much, ive only had to replace it once.
Pros: lifetime warranty, same as Bosch
Cons: replaced multiple times
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Valeos are fine until the magnets fail, and they will.
Cons: magnets fail
Never Valeo. JUNK.
Cons: JUNK
i had a durasuck crap out on me after 4 days, replacement one covered under the "warrenty" did the same thing. get a bosch
Cons: crap out after 4 days
