Subject:      Re: Automatic Starter options was: Front Heater Fan Motor Lube?

But this is only as good as an original  - a copy of the weak Bosch starter is fine for a WBX or other low-compression engines, but lacks the UMPH to crank hot Subarus, diesels, V6 or V8s. The TDI starter has almost twice the cranking power plus faster speed. On the same Amazon link the IMI (or copies of) shows up, which again is what made me build the first prototype adaptor. I like how my 112i WBX springs to life in less than a revolution, almost every time.
