Re: Starter replacement or not?

If you aren't bothered about OEM then I can recommend this
Starter
They arrive next day and look like new. Best ring them to check the exact one since some have more than 2 connectors. Rubjonny on Clubgti states it is a MK3 starter 'cos it has the extra bolt hole for the front mount.
One big advantage is that it does away with the brass bush in the bellhousing which wears and needs replacing.
A great price too.
Make sure you prop the engine up before you remove the old one otherwise you'll spend hours trying to line everything back up.
Good luck.
