The supplier lists it for Audi and Volkswagen. Easy Life Markets offers it as one complete starter, sold under the reference number that workshops and parts catalogues use to identify this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost people only think about the starter on the day it stops working. Until then it sits low on the engine, soaking up heat, road spray and the occasional oil leak, and delivers a short burst of very high current every time the engine is started. Stop-start town driving is harder on it than motorway miles, simply because of the number of starts.

Work through the cheap checks first. Is the battery more than a few years old, and has it been load tested? Are the terminals tight and free of white or green corrosion? Is the earth strap between the engine and the body intact? On a manual car, does the clutch switch work, and on an automatic, is the selector fully in Park? If all of those are fine and you still get a click or nothing at all, the starter is the likely cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect the battery negative terminal and tuck it away from the post.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaise and support the car securely if the starter is reached from below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote which wire goes to which terminal. There is a heavy battery cable and a thin trigger wire, and some cars have a third.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the mounting bolts and ease the starter out. On some engines a bracket or pipe has to be moved aside first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut old and new side by side and check teeth, mounting holes and terminal positions before you fit anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the mounting surface, fit the new unit and tighten the bolts to the workshop manual figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReconnect the wiring, then the battery, and test.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking near the main battery feed carries a real risk of short circuits and burns. If you have any doubt, have the starter fitted by a qualified mechanic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping the Starting System Healthy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new starter will not cure a tired battery, and a tired battery will shorten the life of a new starter. Low voltage makes the motor draw more current and run hotter. After fitting, it is worth having the battery and the charging system tested so that all three parts of the circuit are in good order. Fix any oil or coolant leak above the starter as well, because fluid that gets into the motor body is a common cause of early failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Starter Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the right purchase for an Audi or Volkswagen owner whose original unit carries this exact number, for a garage ordering against a job card, and for a restorer who has confirmed the reference through a parts catalogue.
