WAI 17819N Starter

Starter for Volkswagen Applications

The WAI 17819N starter is built for Volkswagen vehicles that need a direct electrical starting solution with Bosch-unit fitment details. It uses a permanent magnet gear reduction design and a flange mounting style to match the specified applications. This starter is a 12-volt unit with a 1.8 power rating and counterclockwise rotation.

Key Features

• Permanent magnet gear reduction design for efficient starter operation.
• 12-volt electrical specification for the listed Volkswagen applications.
• Flange mounting type for application-specific installation.
• Counterclockwise (left) rotation.
• 9-tooth drive configuration.
• 100% new construction, not remanufactured.

Detailed Description

WAI 17819N is a new starter assembly engineered for vehicles that require Bosch-family starting components. The unit is specified for Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Passat, and Volkswagen Corrado applications across the listed model years. Fitment includes Bosch-unit notes on select Golf and Jetta applications, and a 10-tooth note on the 1995 Volkswagen Corrado listing, so matching the original starter specification is important before ordering. This part cross-references Quality-Built 17819 and BBB Industries 17417 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Slow or weak cranking during engine start.
• No-start conditions caused by starter failure.
• Incorrect starter rotation or tooth count on replacement.
• Fitment issues when the original unit uses a Bosch-style configuration.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original starter’s voltage, rotation, tooth count, and mounting style before installation. Confirm Bosch-unit application notes where listed, especially on Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta fitments. Compare the original part number and connector/mounting details to the WAI 17819N before installation to ensure the correct match.

Quality Assurance

WAI states that this starter is 100% new and built with proprietary components and processes to support long service life and consistent performance. The 17819N is engineered to provide the amp output needed for modern vehicle starting demands.
