stuarttaylor37 13 Posted December 27, 2014 Hi Need to replace a starter on my Vr (M reg) I gave the reg to a local rotating electric remanufacturer who said there were two types for a VR of that year Anyone know if that's right and if so what the differences are please?

VAG-hag 0 Posted December 27, 2014 Pn will be on your starter. 1st thought leads towards different gearbox needing different starter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stuarttaylor37 13 Posted December 28, 2014 He knew it was manual Chris I was hoping to get the right one before I take the other one off so its a quick easy swap over ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted December 28, 2014 He knew it was manual Chris I was hoping to get the right one before I take the other one off so its a quick easy swap over ??? Maybe check to make sure that he wasnt just reading from the screen stu If there are 2 for the manual is it to do with the electrical connectors. Dependent on where the wiring came from some things in the engine bay have different connectors. I found this out when changing thecrank sensor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 Gar 10 Posted December 28, 2014 I have a bosch starter from a L reg VR for sale in the classifieds if it is any good to you, save yourself £140. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted December 28, 2014 My mate brought one round that was apparently from a vr6, was very different to the one I had, as shown below First one is corrado, second one I'm not sure what's it's from, Golf obd2 maybe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted December 28, 2014 second one looks like its from an auto. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted December 28, 2014 That would make much more sense, although where my mate got it from I have no idea as every engine he has had have been manual Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VWVW 1 Posted December 28, 2014 Genuine one has the part number 02A 911 023 HX 01. This is the one I used for my Manual VR6 that was on an M plate. VW dealership or TPS do an exchange basis. Not sure how much they cost now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted December 28, 2014 My mate brought one round that was apparently from a vr6, was very different to the one I had, as shown below First one is corrado, second one I'm not sure what's it's from, Golf obd2 maybe? The one on the right looks like a MK4 starter? Someone on here has fitted a MK4 V5 starter and reported faster cranking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Someone on here has fitted a MK4 V5 starter and reported faster cranking? Yes, I fitted one as recommended by Vince @ Stealth - Definite improvement on mine but I think the removed one was pretty tired! Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted December 28, 2014 Yes, I fitted one as recommended by Vince @ Stealth - Definite improvement on mine but I think the removed one was pretty tired! Ian. Was it a straight forward fit or did you have to enlarge one of the mounting holes in the starter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
