Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Starter Motor

    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?

    Honestly the price of $683 seems like a pretty decent price for a genuine replacement. I assume that does not cover the labour to remove/install the starter?

    I have remove the starter on my old MK6 Golf GTI, it was very simple once you move the airbox out of the way. I can only assume the diesel engine would be similar.

      The Bosch part number looks to be 1986S00803; this is used in a bunch of VW group cars. Look for the part number without the X, too; the X means the part is an exchange service.

      The starter should be in a reasonable location to swap out DIY; just make sure the battery is disconnected

          Yeah, really just moving the airbox - looks pretty easy compared with the LandRovers. Yes, that price is for an exchange - no labour - pretty comfortable doing this one myself when the time comes.

            Oh yes! Never did it myself (left battery connected), but know someone who did - very expensive mistake! DIY Welding!
