Here's a discussion on rennlist that discusses the issues...
First test is bench testing the starter.....then go through
this thread to see if it can help solve your issue.

The Old Buggers are very sensitive to current flow (and
also have a wire for cold start I think) that makes them
prone to not starting.?
A simple solution if the starter bench tests OK is to add
a relay in the system so the full 12V is applied directly
to the starter.
If that's your issue, search rennlist for the way to wire
in the relay....

opps that last point got cut off,? 4? Buy a new Bosch starter at a lower price. The Porsche branded starter is about $800. This is really just a Bosch starter and you should be able to find one using this part number " 0 986 013 880".?
I am using the HiTorque Mini Starter () and would recommend it. The price is $245. Chris at HiTorque is great and will know what you need. You can read about it here:?
If you want the original Porsche (928-604-103-01, 928-604-103-04,?928-604-103-06?928604103AX) or Bosch (0986013880) equivilant you have a few additional options: 1. buy a used one from Jeff. I also have a used spare that is sitting in my garage. 2. Have your's rebuilt but a local rebuilder. Try a good search for Starter Alternator rebuilders. See if you can find a bosch certified rebuilder. These are very common services, and you should be able to find a local service center. Costs should be around $125-$200.

Re: Seeking S4 fog/driving light lens
Well, I procrastinated for a week, and now Roger is also sold out of the left ROW-spec lens that was showing in stock a couple weeks ago.? :-(
So I guess I'm back to looking for a used (USA left) lens or pair of (ROW) lenses, if anyone knows anyone with an S4 parts car.

Re: OB 928 offset question
I don’t recall the original manhole cover offsets but they’re exactly what I used to bump up to 9s and 10s which fit great and there’s room to go inboard in back.?

Check the files section of the io web group page and download the

Quick run suggests that with a 235 tire on the front and a 275 on
the rear it should fit...but play around with the numbers to see
what you come up with.

Re: OB 928 offset question
Hi Jeff, the front wheels will definitively?fit and be a very good offset. The rears might be close. I used a similar-sized?18x8 ET 52 on my S4 with a 275 tire. The tire was about 1.5cm inside the fender lip. You might need to use one of those comparisons to see how much closer those 11" wheels will stick out. It could be a close fit depending on the tire?size. -- 1992 Porsche?928 GTS Japan market

Re: Weird one today with my starter
Check the front of engine harness.?
You could have a short between the starter wire and main battery wire.?
