No problem at the moment, but seeing I just recently replaced the alternator on my 2009 Passat CC 2.0 TDI (CBBB engine), I'd assume the original starter motor might not have too long to go.
I got a local VW dealer price for a starter motor VW-02E911023LX for AUD 683 - this price is based on giving them the old starter motor.
Hoping someone can help with a few questions:
1/ Is the starter motor fairly easy to replace in the 2.0 TDI CBBB engine? It looks like it isn't that hard and can be done from above?
2/ Can the old starter motor be repaired? With another vehicle I have, the thing that fails was the starter solenoid and I bought a cheap kit and replaced the solenoid terminals - the starter motor was as good as gold after that. Is this possible with VWs - are their repair kits out there?
3/ Are their cheaper starter motors out there?
