Hi guys would just like to know if a golf 4 starter would fit on my ffz gearbox running agg motor.
Reason for asking, ive fitted the motor recently and tried starting it today but it swing really slow almost like the bat is flat.

Re: stater motor upgrade
If the golf 4 has the 02a style gearbox then no.

I have done it before and it does fit and turn the motor. It sounds very rough on cranking. It DAMAGES the flywheel teeth as it pushes about 3mm deeper than the 020 starter and the end of the starter gear bites into the 020 flywheel past the gears on the flywheel. You will end up replacing the 020 flywheel due to this causing the teeth to wear off in the flywheel. It will not last you a 1000km.
