[Wanted: Parts] anyone got a known good 12V beetle starter motor?

[trev]

my starter's fucked. Need a good one. I'd rather buy a used one that's known to be working than a poxy Chinese new one.

12V, 73 beetle. The usual craic

Laois, Kildare, Carlow, Kilkenny would be ideal as time is limited before Jumpstart.

thanks

You can borrow mine if you don't get sorted

 

[trev]

cheers Mark, very decent of you. If I don't get sorted by Thursday I'll spin across to you

 

[walshe]

No problem.

Pushing is alot of effort

 

[brianm]

would you get it reconditioned...theres surely someone around would do it for you. the lad down here only charges like €25 and any i ve gotten him to do have never given me an ounce of trouble after

 

[trev]

it's an option brian but I need it for the weekend.

It starts perfectly when stone cold. Two taps of the accelerator pedal, turn the key, fires right up. When it's hot it's a different story. Starter sounds lazy, spins freely, like the solenoid is only half pushed out.
Oh, it's a Skoda Felicia diesel starter BTW. It used to be a great yoke, very strong at 2kW as opposed to the standard beetle one at 0.9kW (from memory).

might try replacing the solenoid tomorrow to see if it makes it any better. I have a clatter of TDI Bosch starters there I can rob a solenoid from.

Thanks enda. Sure bring it with you, I'll talk to you there. I'm sorted for the moment with the lend Herbie gave me but I'll need one long term.
