Coming from me, a guy who rebuilds starters and alternators for a living, well done. couple things I will point out is that you should of removed the paint from around where the negative brushes touch the back plate. you do want to make sure the negatives had a good ground with the front housing of the starter. the whole back plate assembly along with armature and brush holder could have been assembled before putting the armature into the starter body. This goes for all bosch made starters. I did have a good chuckle when I saw the armature shoot into the body lol. all in all very well done keep up the great videos!

Josh. I have an bosch starter in my vw and if im not mistaken it's the very same starter. The problem with it is that the bendix doesn't seem to back up from the fly wheel quick enough so it oftem makes this howling noise... is this something i can fix just by cleaning it? I've heard that in atleast 70% of the cases "bad starter motor" is actually just a dirty one that needs some cleaning in order to work properly. Those bosch ones especially, they are well build starters.
@JoshuaRichardHancock
@JoshuaRichardHancock 5 жыл бұрын
Mercer Frey what happens with a Volkswagen Bosch starter is the the bendix gear is a shaft that drives through a bushing on the front housing of the starter. A lot of the time this is caused by the bushing drying out of its self lubricants. Greasing up the Bendix shaft should fix your issue. If you activate the starter solenoid without activating the motor you can grease the shaft easily. Hopefully this fixes your issue. The starter will make a howling noise after engaging the flywheel. This is why.

Nicely done. A few comments. Put some grease in the black cap held in with 2 screws on the motor case, that will keep the bronze bearing lubed and hopefully most of the water out. Try some aluminium tape for masking off for bead blasting. The pause after the brush block pushed out was classic, silence can say a lot. Loved your use of the strainer to hold parts in the bead blaster and the socket as a spacer on the brush block. Have you thought about doing a video or 2 on the care and feeding of spray guns and how to set them up to spray correctly? You know what the various bleed screws do and how to avoid runs etc. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year. Cheers.

Stripped motor down and sending parts to engineers now, hopefully all is well. First time doing this much work on a car do learning every turn of a spanner. Really enjoying it and will keep learning from you here. Really grat stuff. I just wish I could consult with you more lol. Some of this stuff isn't so easy and get stuck quite regularly.

I applaud the effort you put into disassembling, cleaning and painting the E30 components featured in these videos but find it altogether abhorrent you characterize what you're doing as restoration. I suspect those that "disliked" the video share a similar sentiment. With the level of incorrect finishes showcased, crude disassembly, incorrect reassembly of components, and general lack of attention to details that go into an accurate restoration... i find myself annoyed by the use of the word. Keep honing your skills and improving your techniques, the work you're doing is perfectly admirable under a different descriptor. Oh, and please stop painting aluminum silver.

I used to rebuild starters for a living. The diassembly/reassembly process/sequence was quite 'unusual' and much slower than it could be. However, it was magnificent to watch the detail go into the rebuilding. Much more than we ever did, but of course, we had to make money. Considering this was probably the first starter that this person had done, it was a joy to watch. Bosch starters were always nice to rebuild. Lucas ones not so much...

Great rebuild! The brushes were mechanically fastened because starter motors can get hot enough to melt the copper [and solder]. This [obviously] does not happen unless the starter motor is run continuously under load for an extended period of time >30sec. Worked at a rotating electrical re-manufacturer and have seen it more times than I can remember.

Very well done there! Great your videos, and no need for distracting music. Remember doing my Magneti Morelli starter restoration on M42. Put time into it and did almost everything as you did, except filming, zinc coating and painting the necessary parts. I wish I could have blasting case and the painting tools and skills you have. Yet the starter motor running strong as from the factory and smoothly, probably also better in a long term than those new age ones.

I used to work in a factory reconning these starters. You can make a tool at home to strip the solenoids. A piece of angle iron with 3 holes to match the solenoid with a bigger hole in the middle for a bar to press the cap out. De-solder the cap first to protect the wires. Bolt the solenoid to the angle iron and use 2 spacers either side of the solenoid to stop it fouling in the vice. Place a bar inside the solenoid through the center hole. Put in a vice and press the cap off.

For the grinder, bolt it to a base that has a lip to overhang the bench. It won't move much then, as you're always pushing on a grinder, never pulling. You could even make a notch in the bench to stop side-to-side. The setup remains portable.

Yes, the part cleaner is an amazing tool. Best investment I ever made. But again you have to keep your fluid clean, unchecked the filters often get clogged with rusting dirt particles. Nice job on the brush replacement so many restores will not touch the brushes because they do not know how to do that.

I restored a E36 starter once. It really sucked. I did everything from the top of the car, and I swear the second I finished everything my girlfriend is like hey you sure you don't need this little ring? It was the ring you see at 4:13 and I had to take everything apart again. The part worked great after rebuilding it though. I had a original BMW kit for the work. Aren't there any available for the E30?

Nice job! I believe the spiral gear part on the shaft should not be lubed with grease as it must move freely to engage the starter - it might work initially, but once that grease gets contaminated with dust & dirt, you may have trouble. I think graphite is the best option here.

Keep up the good work, but: 1. Please mask the bushings before sandblasting, you've probably ruined both. Please also mask machined mating surfaces i.e.: the surface where the housing "tube" and the cast aluminium part mates. 2. You didn't grease the closing cap (originally it's filled with grease) 3. Soldering the brushes is not the best option, you can easily get 200°C+ on that wire, and that could remelt the solder material (originally those wires are welded). Usually you can buy the whole brush holder assembly as a spare part. If you can't get it from BMW, then you could try Bosch After Market 4. The closing cap originally is bare metal W/O paint .. thats enough for today..
