Starter issues

Post

Back to the top
I bought my golf as a rolling shell and there was no gearbox on it when purchased but the one I've got since is a FF code which I understand is for a diesel but should work fine on my 1.6gti. What I'm curious of is which starter motor will be OK to use as the diesel is 1.5kw with 2point fitment onto this gearbox and the original for the gti is 0.95kw and a 3point fitment which won't fit onto the FF gearbox I have.
Has anyone used a diesel starter on a 1.6 petrol without any issues? Cheers Jason

I wouldn't fit a diesel gearbox on a 1.6 gti, I had 1 and it ruined it. Doesn't have enough torque to pull well in 5th gear.

Aye 1.6 doesn't have the beans
