Bosch Starter help

[JP Noonan]

I'm not trying to be THAT lazy, but I've lost all my bookmarks/favorites and can't seem to track down a starter I got in a trade some time back.

It came in a bucket-o-parts when I bought a 1.7L motor and about 10 cylinder heads from a guy who started a Type-IV 69 912 project. The bucket and a seized bettle trany were thrown in. Anyway the starter sat for awhile until I tested it today, turns fast, gear kicks out fine, no rust, looks to actually be fairly new/rebuilt. Dosen't mate to the Bettle or an old tail shifter 901 I have. The bolt holes are too small and the boss that mates into the hole in the tran, is too big (I think), and it has a fancy heat sheild bolted on to it. My WAG is, it for some water-cooled VW because the +12V cable has the battery terminal still on it. The cable is only about 24" long.

PN: (VW mark) 027 911 023

Under that is a second PN.

PN:--------652
----------Bosch
----(Bosch mark) 0 001 212 400
---------------------------401
->12V

O.K. anyone with a link or a book I can use to look these up?

Thanks for any help.

JP I looked up your part number in my Bosch Starter and Alternator Catalog and it is listed as being used on several Watercooled Golfs, Jettas, etc... engine size 1780cc(If you want specifics let me know)for various years and mainly automatics. Hope this helps, Ian
