    01 Starter Question

    The starter on my 01 died. I looked for a replacement online and found 2 different kinds. They're 1.4kw and 1.2kw. Which one should I get? :confused:

    The 1.2KW is the standard one in warmer climates. The 1.4KW was the optional one (cold weather package) or standard one in cooler climates. Both will fit on the car - the 1.4KW has heavier duty brush springs for sure - little more powerful cranking ability.

    Look at the original one's part number. If I remember correctly - if it is a Denso part that ends with a xxxxxx-631 it is the 1.2KW one, if the it ends with a xxxxxx-666, it is the 1.4KW one.
