Okay Iv'e posted here before and want to thank all of the collaborative efforts from everyone that makes this site work... I have been doing a conversion and I have started it, sorted out all my fluids. I just rebuilt the rear (trailing arms, shocks, bearings, CV boots joints etc.... SO I am just about ready to take for a test drive. Tomo I will take it off the jack stands.

COuple questions about starting: I have a new battery and since day one since I first fired it up the started sounds week, almost like its skipping. It engages then takes a bit to turn the 2.5 over and the engine fires up and I get a bad scrapping grinding sound like the starter is still engageing. I have a 1985 Westy A/T with a 2003 2.5. It also seems like the starter just gets it going.

Second: This weekend I was messing with lights etc... and had the lights on and off so the battery was a little run down. I started the engine again and it sound like it skips more with a lower battery. but it fires up fine and runs smooth. I charged it and fired it up again now that horrble sound keeps going like the starter is staying engaged. I looked at the torque converter where the grooves for the starter turn the engn and its not chewed up at all. I only let it run maybe 3-4 seconds with that horrible sound like the starter not dieengeaging?

Is there a correct starter or after market I can get to solve this problem... Thanks so much.

sounds like you should take that starter out and see what's going on
with it.
or perhaps you did...

I can't figure what 'the grooves for the starter turn the engn" means.

grooves ?

Is the torque converter properly bolted to the drive plate. ?

there is the IMI gear reduction aftermarket starter ...that's one choice.

curious what you mean by 'grooves' though.

Sorry for the bad explanation. The toothed gear on the back of the torque converter that the starter engages to make the engine turn over. I hope that is better. I am positive that the torque converter is properly seated and and bolted. Ill check out the imi starter...

The IMI is one choice. The VW TDI is another. The VW TDI starter requires an adapter found here:?
.
I have had both and both work well.

Thanks again for the help. Upon taking out the starter today the teeth were all chewed up on the end, I ordered a westy venture adapter and a Bosch SR0408X starter. thanks
