Starters

Starters for Air Cooled VW Beetle, Dune Buggy, Sand Rail, and Baja Bugs. Stock replacement starters, IMI Hi Torque, High torque TDI starter conversions, and starter bushings for VW Type 1 and Type 2 transaxles.

There are two common starter sizes used:

Type 1 starters fit Beetle, and 3-Rib or 5-Rib 002 transaxles. These bellhousings measure 2-3/4 inch from bellhousing flange to starter flange.

091 starters fit 6-Rib 091 Bus, and 094 4-speed transaxles. These bellhousings measure 3-1/4 inch from bellhousing flange to starter flange.

Many VW transaxle bellhousings are interchangeable. Measure and verify which bellhousing you have before choosing a starter.
