Easy Life Markets sells it as a single starter, identified by the reference number in its name. If the label on your old starter reads F 000 AL0 507, with or without the spaces and dashes, this is the listing to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you turn the key, the solenoid on top of the starter does two things at once. It pushes the small pinion gear forward into the teeth of the flywheel, and it closes a heavy contact that feeds battery current to the motor. The motor spins the engine until it fires, then the pinion drops back out. Every part of that sequence wears with use.

Petrol and diesel engines, manual and automatic gearboxes and different production plants all lead to different mounting patterns and gear sizes. A starter that is nearly right can bolt on and still sit a few millimetres out, which chews the flywheel teeth. The reference number removes that guesswork, because it identifies one specific design. That is why we have put the number first in this listing and the model names second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Tell the Old Starter Has Failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou hear one click and the engine does not turn over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe engine cranks slowly although the battery is charged and the terminals are clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is a harsh grinding sound during cranking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe starter spins freely with a whine but does not turn the engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting is fine one day and dead the next, with no pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapping the starter body gets it going again for a while\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo a quick battery check before condemning the starter. A battery that shows 12 volts at rest can still collapse under load, and the symptoms look identical from the driver's seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake the negative lead off the battery first.

Keep the battery charged, replace corroded cable ends and fix oil leaks that drip onto the starter body. Avoid cranking for more than about ten seconds at a time. If the engine does not catch, wait a little before trying again so the motor windings can cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Buy This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is aimed at owners and workshops that already know the number they need. If you have the old unit in your hand and it carries the same reference, the same 9 teeth and the same 12 V 1.1 kW rating, you are in the right place. If you only know the car model, confirm the number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Volkswagen or original-brand starter?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is an aftermarket starter sold under the F-000-AL0-507 reference.
