Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I send my car to Porsche, they told me it's the starter gear problem & they recommend to replace the starter which cost $$$$. Another workshop electrician told me the starter can be service & it usually cost a couple of hundred. The only worry is that they cannot find the starter gear. Has anyone replace the starter gear before & where can I get them? I was also told that they are the same as the Mercedes starter parts. Would appreciate your input. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

whats wrong with the car ? what starter "gear"

POST 3Original post

There is only one starter gear.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, I think there is only one starter gear. The car sometime do not start on first crack & there is sound of the starter gear slipping off when starting the engine. It don't happened everytime, sometimes it start on first crank.

POST 5Original post

Highly unlikely the gear is bad, proably just the bendix spring. You should be able to find a place to rebuild it.
