Hi Is the starter the same on type 4 engines as type 1 or does anyone know the original bosh part no for 74 1800 starter motor cheers
I think it's to do with the gearbox bell housing rather than the engine. I've got a 79 van and the starter works with both a type 4 and type 1 engine.
I've just had the starter motor for my 1600 TP engine overhauled, and its in pristine condition with all the numbers clearly visible on the casing. If this is the one you are after, let me know and I will send the P/N to you. Tony
I ll checked on the gsf website and there selling the same one for a 74 1800 ,and a 78 1600 (my two buses) I ll take it out and take to the motor factors the ve the 1600 ones in stock
fair price, go for it, i'd still take your old one with you just to make sure all the mounting holes and electrical contacts are the same!
Do you know what's wrong with the old one? There's a company opposite where I work that do refurbs on starters. I could get you a price, if its fixable. Get the new one and refurb the old to keep as a spare.
right fitted new starter (today from coolair they was cheaper than local) and a new earth strap but still getting the same problem i even bridged the spade terminal onto the post terminal but still the same its as if the battery not got enough but its a new battery showing 12 v i ve also tried a second battery any ideas anyone plz
