Re: [Scirocco-l] Installing a High Torque Starter
I believe the DIN spec designation for terminal 15 is that it must connect
to ignition switched power.....
I don't know how that relates to the starter, though.
Funny, I have been looking over the starter and ignition circuit wiring in
my Bentley for the past few days, but I don't have it with me.
?

My current starter was bad. I bought the High Torque because I am
having trouble turning over the engine when hot and it is drawing like
400 amps when it tries so based on several peoples advice it was time
to replace the starter.
I already have the starter so if someone could explain to me how to
get it hooked up that would be great. What do I do about the wires
that used to be connected to the terminal 15???? Do I just leave
them hanging? and just connect the terminal 50 wire??? Please some
must have done this before.
