current to get the job done so eve with the earlier battery cables the
engine will turn over. Solenoid/gear engagement also much better. No need
for add on failure items such as relays etc. All new parts.   Many of the
rebuilds just not right. Tired of doing them again especially on Syncros.
Just get the better unit.

Sure, if you like roulette. ;) A lot of money for a one-time starter that
has a high failure history. The TDI starter + adaptor is a far better
solution in all ways.
