Application Guide

Units such as the competitor unit shown on the left, do
not function properly on the vehicle and fail prematurely,
as is clearly shown by the broken Starter drive housing.
This can also be a detriment to the vehicle itself as once
the casting is broken, it permits moisture and corrosion
to enter the transmission housing.
The difference between the low cost unit and the OE
Bosch unit can easily be identified.
The unit on the left will not have any Bosch Logos cast in
to the housing, as does the OE unit pictured on the right.
Care must be taken in selling and exchanging cores on the
sale of a SR0492N / SR0492X Bosch replacement starter.
Each core received back must be carefully inspected
by the seller, If cores are returned with the condition
shown on the top left image, Bosch will not issue core
credit to the customer, as these are knock off cores
that cannot be remanufactured.

to the original, but are not equal in performance and construction.
