Subject:Re: Use air cooled Bosch reman. starter on 1.9 WBX? (searched archives)

Thanks John.

I did see your posting when searching. Thanks.

It looks to me like there is 3 different starters for the air cooled
engine/tranny.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your response. --- :^)

Was curious if a Bosch SR19X will fit a 1985 WBX tranny and work
properly with the 1.9 WBX attached to that tranny.

My VIN # is:

WV1WB0256FH008214

Don't know if that helps.

Thanks!

Neil.
