Subject:More 1.9l Starter Questions
From:Jay L Snyder
Date:Thu, 5 Oct 2000 13:27:24 -0400

My 1.9l 4-speed starter does not look like the starter shown in my Bentley.
Is this a picture of an automatic starter, diesel or what?  Are the 2.1l
starters different?  This one has a nose, a cover over the solenoid and
different connections on the solenoid.  Several vendors show different
numbers for early and late manual starters.  Some list all manuals
together.  If they are the same, why did VW double the wire size in '86+
(battery to starter cable)?  Why does Kennedy Engineering Products say you
have to buy an '86 or later starter if you put a Subaru motor in your '85?
Somebody out there must know.

                                                             Jay '85 Westy
