I just rebuilt my VW starter with Chinese parts.

The electrical connection on the Chinese solenoid was wrong, but I cobbled it up and got the car running, bu it never was quite right, low crank speed, noisy clicking. I chased my tail assuming it wasn't the starter.

Turns out the Chinese solenoid was crap. I bought a VW starter and put the problem behind me.

I thought I saved $100, but I didn't. And I removed the starter three times.

Lesson learned.
