Starter motor problems

Post

Back to the top
Hi I'm wondering if anyone can give any advice on what starter motor I need for my mk1? I've got an abf lump in it with g60 o2a gear box and g60 flywheel but not sure what starter motor to run? Not sure what's in there at the moment as I can't find and part numbers on it anywhere. Any help would be aperciated thanks 👍🏼I've attached pics of the starter motor that's in there at the moment if that helps

G60, 4 cylinder corrado and b3/4 passat, mk3 abf or tdi. pretty sure all the mk4 with 02j will work too?

main thing is what connector for cranking feed you have on your wiring loom, mk2 have a spade, later cars have a square clippy plug

Though it looks to me like someone has put a ring terminal on it and put it under the solenoid wire nut?

Thanks rub Jonny yeah I was thinking it might be a g60 starter as the box and flywheel are from a g60. The wiring was done by my mate and the big red wire coming from the engine loom is connected to the solinoid but with a ring terminal? Is this not right?

originally the wire would have a spade housing on it, pops to a spade on the starter.

the way it is now will work just fine, and is in fact more secure as a ring terminal cant fall off like a spade can (as I found out  on my trip to the MOT centre :lol:)

mk3 type wins though nice waterproof clippy plug, wont fall off or corrode :)
