Hi:

I'm starting this off as a new topic as its now more specific, thanks to oldiebutgoldie for pointing me in the correct direction

Can anyone point me to a supplier for the bronze bushing on both ends of a diesel starter motor. They are marginally different in size (front is bigger).
I've seen this on ebay, it looks right, but as it has to come to Africa, I have to make sure that I get it correct. So if anyone has gotten them recently I'd appreciate an observation

Thanks mate...

I have to do an unorthodox repair to keep going for a couple of weeks, what do reckon, brass steel or anything that fills the gap for a week.

No, that one is the standard petrol bell housing bush. VW part numbers for the diesel are 035 911 213B for the brush end and 028 911 257 for the pinion end. Still available parts from VW.

Fantastic to get the part numbers. Cheers,

What I mean is that I can't get them in Kenya. VW doesn't keep stock for these vehicles and my starter is slopping around all over the place. If I go to an engineering works and get something temporary to fill the gap, it won't last but as the real ones will be on the way I can fix it properly in a few weeks.

Any suggestions on best material for a stop gap fix.

sorry mate...thanks for that mike ...thats for my one a petrol but it sorted mine out

Those bushes fit loads of VW starters, including VW models that are still being made.

And that piece of information just showed me how to get the part in Nairobi, hopefully delivery first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for the help you provided. So all being well, I'm up and running tommorow, if not, back to ebay!

Thanks!
