Diesel starter?

[drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca (drew)]

The A2 _diesel_ starter does have a gear reduction for increased
torque.  I've replaced, installed and rebuilt a few of them and up until
this past spring I was running one in my Scirocco (1.6 TD.)  I've since
installed an A1 diesel starter (as I had a recently rebuilt unit sitting
on the shelf to replace the A2 one which had a corroded brush connection)

If you have ETKA you can see the gear reduction part:

JEG 92 9 11 212-05 #14 068 911 303 B (1 set of planetary gears with 12mm
drive)

HTH,

Drew
