Tired of worrying whether or not your Vanagon will start after a quick trip to the store? Sick of crossing your fingers when you go to start the Van after a fuel fill up? Electrical resistance increases with heat and if your starter sounds like it's turning slowly during warm starts, this is the fix for you. In vans with engine conversions, this upgrade is a necessity to turn high compression modern engines.
This kit contains a Bosch SR0408X high torque starter, an adapter plate, and a plug-n'-play electrical harness.
Fitment Notes:
- Does NOT fit original VW diesel bellhousings.
- Syncro applications with locker using the SR0408X starter (we recommend using the SR425N for all Syncros!!!), will require a 3/4" notch for the diff-lock bracket, and you must use the longer (2.25") type bracket and corresponding locker pin. Sorry, it will not work with the short bracket unless you extend both the bracket and the locker pin.
- The manual transmission 2wd adapter will fit 80 thru 91 aircooled and watercooled Vanagons.
- This starter and adapter works with Vanagon transaxles. If you are using a Subaru transmission, you will need to use a Subaru high torque starter.
- Important - You will receive a factory rebuilt Bosch starter. When purchasing this product you'll be charged an additional fee of $80.00 (Core Charge) to insure that you return your old starter. Your core must be returned within 90 days of purchase in order to receive credit for your core charge. Please include a copy of your original invoice with your core return. Your core must be returned in the manufacturer's box of the starter that you receive from Van Cafe.
