Part number 068 911 023 M Vanagon Diesel Starter. After removing the starter try to run it off a battery- it could be something other than the starter that's bad. Careful, it has a lot of torque and can easily jump away from you while testing it with jumper cables.

----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Chris & Kelly DeVoto Gesendet: Friday, August 16, 2002 7:50 PM An: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Betreff: Buying an '82 Vanagon Westfalia

I have a huge favor to ask, and I'm going on blind faith on some of this. I'm going up to Wisconsin in a couple of weeks to pick up the afore mentioned '82 Westfalia. The engine in it now is a diesel, was rebuilt about a year ago and was originally out of a Rabbit. That's all I know about the engine. Here's the kicker, the starter went out a couple of months ago and the thing hasn't moved. My friend who currently owns it is the farthest thing from mechanically inclined and knows nothing about it mechanically. Now that I've rattled on here's the question, how many different diesel engines would fit the West and a Rabbit? I don't want to go up there armed with 53 different starters, unless I have to, and I don't want to wait to get up there to buy the starter because I don't know how hard it will be to get. Anyway any help at all is appreciated, I'm a pretty decent mechanic but this will be my first VW experience. Thanks to everyone.
