Car Forum / Volvo Cars / September 2006Volvo 740 Turbo redux - Best starter to use?
Hey. Back again. Thanks to all who replied with advice last time I posted. Am in the process of buying and installing a new starter. Anybody with a preference between Bosch and Denso? Or another make that might be better than either of those? Would like to have the car for a long time, so I want to get this right. I suppose if anyone also had any sage words of wisdom or warning for a novice about to attempt this install, I would be happy to take notes. Thanks for any and all help. > Hey. Back again.

Thanks for any and all > help. I like the older style big Bosch starters, they seem to hold up well. The last time I replaced one I didn't feel like going to a junkyard so I had the owner of the car pick up a rebuilt starter from Schucks, normally I'd be dubious about a cheap rebuilt but it had a lifetime warranty and has held up so far. http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ElectricalStarting.htm#Removing_Starter > Hey.

I've done that, one was dead when I got it, the other died a month later, that's when we bought a reman from Schucks and it's held up. Would have ordered it online but needed it now. >>>Just get one from the Volvo dealer. Don't bother with rebuilds or >>>aftermarket stuff.

That's what I did; I bought one from NAPA for something under $200 US. IIRC it was a reman Bosch unit and it has worked fine for 8 or 9 years now. I think the newer tiny starters are a worse gamble when buying rebuilt. Mike > That's what I did; I bought one from NAPA for something under $200 US.

I've heard that as well, the older bigger ones do feel more solidly built, given a choice I use the older style as replacements. >>Hey. Back again.

Well if you've got money to burn you can go that route, they run about $330 at the dealer for a remanufactured unit, or you can order a new OEM one online for around $140 or rebuild for around $110. > >>Hey.

I bought one from the Erie Volvo online site, http://www.erievovo.com/specials.asp for $59 plus a few bucks for shipping. It has worked flawlessly for almost 2 years now. NCMan |
