Reman Starter for Volkswagen and Audi Applications

BBB Industries REMAN STARTER 17970 is a 12-volt remanufactured starter built for select Volkswagen and Audi vehicles with Bosch OE applications. It uses a permanent magnet gear reduction design, includes the starter drive and attached solenoid, and features a counterclockwise rotation with a 10-tooth pinion.

This starter is a direct replacement for vehicles such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, Jetta, GTI, Passat, and Audi A3 where the original unit uses internal thru bolts in the starter field case. Part number 17970 is built for starting-system service on a wide range of 2006-2018 VW and Audi models.

Detailed Product Overview
