SR-17XRB VW Semi-Auto & Manual Starter Upgrade - 12V

Remanufactured Starter – SR-17XRB

The SR-17XRB represents the ultimate reliability upgrade for your VW's starting system. Because it is a remanufactured unit, it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory standards. For manual transmission owners, this starter solves the age-old problem of the "hot start" struggle by providing a more efficient motor and a more stable gear engagement.

As part of the remanufacturing process, the solenoid, brushes, and bearings are replaced with brand-new components, and the housing is refinished to a factory-new luster.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• The Manual Upgrade: When installing this on a manual transmission car, you can simply leave the old bushing in the bellhousing or remove it—the SR-17XRB will not use it.

• Clean Ground Paths: To get the most out of this high-torque motor, ensure the mating surface between the starter and the transmission is clean of paint and grease, as this serves as the electrical ground.

• Battery Health: High-torque starters pull significant amperage. Ensure your battery has a minimum of 450 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) to take full advantage of the SR-17XRB's performance.

*Core Information

• *Core Return: Return needs to be in rebuildable condition and of the same style i.e. Semi-Auto starter core for a Semi-Auto Rebuilt unit. Refund for core charge will be processed after received and cleared good for rebuild.

• *Core Charge: Core charge will be added to your order after checkout and will need to be paid before your order will ship.
