Detailed Description

WAI 30417N is a starter built around a permanent magnet gear reduction design for Volkswagen vehicles that specify a Bosch unit. The construction supports the electrical demand of today’s vehicles while matching the required tooth count, rotation direction, and mounting style for the listed applications. This part number 30417N is used across multiple Volkswagen platforms, including Jetta, Passat, and GTI fitments, making it a practical OE-style replacement when the original starter matches the same Bosch PMGR configuration.

The New product line identifies this as a fresh unit rather than a remanufactured assembly. That matters for buyers who want a starter with new internal components and consistent output characteristics. For Volkswagen owners searching for a Bosch PMGR starter, 30417N provides a fitment-specific replacement path without changing the original electrical or mounting requirements.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or weak cranking
• No-crank conditions caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starting due to worn internal components
• Incorrect starter match when Bosch PMGR specifications are required
• Starting issues on Volkswagen vehicles with the listed fitment

Installation Notes

Verify the original starter’s Bosch family, 13-tooth count, counterclockwise rotation, and flange mount before ordering. Fitment includes Volkswagen Jetta, Passat, GTI, Beetle, Golf, Golf Alltrack, Golf R, Golf SportWagen, and Atlas applications with the notes shown in the fitment data. Confirm the vehicle’s start/stop configuration where noted, since some listed applications exclude that feature.

Quality Assurance

WAI states that its starters are engineered to deliver the amp output required by modern vehicles, and this unit is manufactured as 100% new with proprietary components and processes for maximum life and performance.
