Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Bosch SR11X - Premium Remanufactured VW Starter by Jeff Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Original part at a reduced price - Best deal anywhere!

My car's starter found a random problem, sometimes when the key was turned the starter would spin but the gear would not engage the flywheel, after a few tries the car would start but I was worried about it one day it would just fail and put me in a difficult situation. After several attempts to fix the problem, such as B. replacing the starter magnet and the steering column switch, I decided to replace the entire starter. This definitely fixed the problem and my car starts as it should again. Bosch is a BMW OEM so this is a genuine part and you don't have to go to a dealer to buy a BMW starter which will also be very expensive and you end up with a Bosch part in a BMW part Box. The original starter I removed from my car is a Bosch unit so don't worry about replacing the original part with another inferior one. It is a refurbished starter, which means a factory remanufactured unit with all internals updated or replaced by Bosch, with a full warranty and even free roadside assistance so even in the worst case you have free towing service. After the rebate process, which includes sending the old main unit in a box, the new one came with a FedEx label for a free return, you get about half the cost back. So the final price is so low that it is not a problem. I did a setup where the car was jacked up, the muffler removed and the transmission tilted down slightly to access the starter torx screws. It's not easy, but it's not a headache either. Mechanics should be able to do this job in 2 hours or less. The new starter case is a little shorter than the old one, but has the same functions and the setup is perfect. The old starter failed after 17 years of service so I don't expect it to have problems again for the rest of the car's life. If you compare prices and locations, this is the best deal for a starter replacement. can be found anywhere. If you have problems with your BMW starter motor, fix them once and for all with this genuine part. This is much cheaper, easier and definitely solves the problem and is better than having an old starter motor repaired at a local shop with lower quality and reliability.
