I just did a complete rebuild on the ole' 1.6 in my 91 jetta only to put it all back together and turn the key and hear click click. Got the Bentley out and trouble shot the starter is bad. How it would go bad sitting in the back of the Jetta is beyond me since it worked great when I pulled the engine out of the car two weeks ago.
Anyway my question is, since I need a new starter, is there any suggestions on a new one. Are there any better ones out there than others? Will the 1.9L work? What year models can I get one to work in my 91 ECO diesel. Since everything is new, radiator, waterpump, engine, and so forth, heck may as well get a new starter. I know these things are not cheap, but I don't want any head aces and I will pay for a high quality high torque starter because it will make life so much better in the winter.
Thanks
