Good price but there were problems with the installation.

Engine runs, car starts easily, so all very good. If this continues, I'll save a lot of money at local auto parts stores. However, installation was delayed because the new starter uses smaller diameter bolts to which the bracket attaches than the Bosch starter it replaced, so the nuts from the original starter cannot be used on the new one. This wouldn't be a problem if the new starter included nuts, which would earn the manufacturer about 10 cents extra. So I had to drive an extra hour to the hardware supplier to find nuts. Also, the starter bracket did not line up with the hole in the engine block when installed on the new starter, which meant drilling a hole. in brackets, and that added another 20 minutes of unnecessary escalation.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
