Get your air-cooled flat-four turning over again with the Remy Remanufactured Starter 16300 — a direct-fit vw Beetle starter that also serves a wide span of classic Volkswagen and Porsche applications. It's a remanufactured replacement for the listed 1967-1979 Volkswagen Beetle, 1971-1979 Super Beetle, 1972-1979 Volkswagen Transporter, 1970-1976 Porsche 914 and many more (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list).
Built on a wound-field direct-drive design, this starter engages the flywheel ring gear to crank the engine so it can start.
A Porsche 914 starter or a vw Transporter starter that clicks, grinds, or fails to crank is a common sign the original may need replacing — if the starter is the cause, this Transporter starter drops in as the fix. Country of origin: Mexico.
