VW Golf MK1 restoration ep.8 - Bosch STARTER

On this episode I am restoring the Bosch starter from the MK1 project. The only part that had to be changed was the brush assembly which I found in car parts store for 20$.
Enjoy the video and if I missed something please leave a comment .

Watched it meanwhile drinking a beer! I am a simple man: I see Restoration vids, I like!

Love the format of these restoration videos , you could do this to all small components of the car that need restoration. Great work ! Keep 'em coming!

Usually it is the solenoid contacts that wear out. Painting it doesn’t help that.

[@aleksandar_techtattoo6337]

There are two types of starters
Fat and slimmer ( the slimmer is faster and better less ware )
Love from Serbia ;)!

A Sandblast would save you a lot of time and energy on most parts

I hope someone sees this! I’m having trouble getting the motor apart like done at 2:52. Any suggestions? I can get it out an inch or so and then it is stuck!

[@rogerhudson2814]

I've noticed in your videos you don't seem to use liquid sealants or thread locker liquids? Any specific reason?

Este un degresant foarte bun !

[@jesusfranko5119]

That's way too much grease. When it turns is going to come up the armature and the permanent magnets.

[@admiralfloofz658]

You know those hexbolts arent burnt from factory right? :P Theyre zincplated and black passivated

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

I know, but which option do you think it's cheaper and easier ? Zincplating and using black/blue passivate or some heat and shitty oil ? XD

[@admiralfloofz658]

@@upcyclethepastutp9901 You can actualy buy a DIY kit. I did, it wasnt too expensive. And you can buy yellow passivate and black passivate. Old german cars had a LOT of parts yellow passivated

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

@@admiralfloofz658 yes they do :) i just bought a gateros diy zinc plating kit, soon i will do the bolts in yellow or silver :) slow progress is still progress ! Hehe. This video with the starter rebuild was a year ago xD

@@upcyclethepastutp9901 Yea I know I just recently found your channel so Im looking throu all your videos. Great job considering what you have to work with :)

i was always told you could not test them older vw starters on the bench, because the dont have an outer housing and the shaft smashes the magnets?
