Re: Can a car eat starters? 200 89

that sounds really weird. If the flywheel ring gear was shot I would expect the gear on the starter to be all chewed up. I'd guess you are getting some bad starters. The Bosch starter in particular is pretty robust. I have never had the gears or bearings fail on a Bosch starter. And my cars are primarily city driven with lots of starts and stops. The only failures I have ever had were the fault of the solenoid. Are you getting Hitachi or Bosch rebuilt starters. The Bosch starters are worth the extra money in my opinion. The are much larger and more powerful then the Hitachi type. I suppose Volvo switched to Hitachi for weight/cost savings. The Hitachi motor on my 89 had a meltdown so I'm not too impressed with them.
