Detailed Description

Bosch SR4216X is a remanufactured starter from the Bosch Starter line, made for Mazda vehicles that require a 12V, 1 kW starter with a clockwise rotation and 8-tooth drive.

It fits 1999-2005 Mazda Miata and 1995-2003 Mazda Protege, including 1999-2003 Mazda Protege models with a 1.0 kilowatt starter requirement.

What This Starter Helps Address

• Engine no-crank condition
• Slow or weak starter engagement
• Intermittent starting caused by starter wear
• Grinding or improper starter drive engagement
• Replacement needs for a failed Mazda Miata or Mazda Protege starter

Confirm the application against the vehicle year and engine configuration, especially on 1999-2003 Mazda Protege models with the 1.0 kW starter requirement.
