003 911 023 B Starter sought

[Kubelmann]

Does anyone have a Thing starter ( same as VW auto-stick trans 68 - 79 ) that they are willing to give, trade or sell to me? I am looking for one.
The VW part number is 003 911 023B It may also be call an SR-15N

Believe it or not, I was able to find a replacement for mine last year at a FLAPS. I was really, really surprised to have found one so easily and I believe it ran about $70.00.

Good luck,
Rick

My local Car Quest, Autozone and O'Reilys can get these starters. I have some here but they aren't very good, I was saving them for future exchanges.

k-mann.

the auto trans starter is SR-17.

usually it is SR-17X, the x meaning rebuilt, but you can also get SR-17N which is a new unit.

they are commonly available, any bosch dealer will have it in stock or be able to get it quickly.

Thanks Scott for the SN17 information, This entire thread was started (by me) because I wanted to find out a few things.

First I wanted to find out if a lot of folks had donor cores that I could get so I could rebuild one as a spare.

Second I wanted to find out if this starter was still commonly available. Where I live such information is non existant. K-mann

Thanks for bring up this thread I had no idea the starter was not stock t1 why in the world is it an auto starter?

The auto starter delivers 0.8HP
The stock t1 delivers 0.6HP
