Cant say i've had any issues with mine.Only thing i have noticed is when you switch the engine on the rev counter shoots up to about 1.5k/2k and then goes down to rest as normal. It that this noise everyone is referring to? Cant say i've noticed anything else. But yes the car will rev alot more freely and with an almost standard 6 that pulls absurdly well like yours does, you will love it. The whole driving experience just feels alot more effortless You shouldnt have to worry about teeth breaking off as if you buy new it will be machined from the stronger metal. They are something to look at too, really nice, shame its inside your gearbox when in use  Edit; i can pop over later if you like and you can take her out for a spin, see what you think...? Shes running sweet apart from a blowing exhaust which needs attention ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

Yup. Mate of mine had a lightened one which was great, then the starter destroyed it. He's now got a new lightened one, and gets "the noise". ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Is the starter ring not hardened on these? If so how are teeth getting damaged? If it is hardened is it harder than the starter motor seens a thats the consumable.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I don't know that much about the starters on these cars, but surely the amount of people all having this problem at the same time would imply there must be some kind of problem? I fail to believe that everyone who's fitted one has missed a dowel, or bought the same wrong starter.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
