Leebovr6 0 Posted May 29, 2014 Could anyone tell me if the starter motor from an 1.8 16v would fit a 2ltr 16v please? Or are they totally different? Thanks in advance, Lee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 29, 2014 Different part numbers but fairly sure they'll interchange, most 02A's do - people used to fit TDI starters to petrol cars as they were more heavy duty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Yeah, will be fine, original spec was slightly different as the 2L is slightly higher compression but it will work fine, you might find one of the small connections has a different plug on it depending on the year Edited May 29, 2014 by davidwort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leebovr6 0 Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks guys, any idea what TDI starter I should look for as I think this might be a better option. For some reason this car does not like starter motors as I have swapped it twice already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
