can you use a mk3 diesel starter in a mk1 rabbit?
-
nevermind! it's installed. ;D
-
For future reference mk3 idi with 020 trans yes no problem
mk3 tdi with 02a/02j style trans nope won't work
-
ANY 020 starter will work in ANY 020 tranny.. it may not have the balls to turn over the engine, but it will fit.. just something to remember..
the 02A/02J trans uses an enclosed nose starter.. the 020 starter is open.

and the mk3 auto tranny starter will bolt up fine and seems to have no trouble turning over a 1.6 diesel.
not sure if it would survive long term, but I used one in a pinch.

Still using one after a year and a half.. Works in negative temp and better than the store brand reman I bought..

mk3 gasser starters are gear reduction, thats why they work and mk2 gasser starters dont.. the mk1/2 units are just to weak.

Bingo.. I'm actually curious what the torque rating is on those.. I really haven't noticed any difference in cranking speed with the thing when hot or cold.. ANd since it was a junkyard find with already about 150K miles on it it's probably already better than half worn out and still working...
