Smaller than the original
The starter has done its job so far, the packaging was high quality, the part makes a solid impression.
The starter is a good bit shorter than the original on my VP 2002, which made installation much easier. The fit on the engine was exact.

Excellent product that doesn't make you regret the original and at half the price. I recommend it.

everything is correct
I installed it in a 2003 Volvo Penta, a little shorter than the original, which does not affect its operation, working perfectly.

Delivery was on time
Product met expectations, but has not yet been installed because the starter problems were caused by a battery that was too old.

Seems flimsy but works
I installed this in my Volvo Penta 2002. It is very small compared to the faulty BOSCH one I removed. It sounds weird, but it fits and it works.

2 starters within one year
Delivery from SVB was, as always, fast and reliable.
Unfortunately, this is the second starter in a short period of time, as the first one broke at the gear housing after six months. I'm hoping this is an isolated case.

Starts with difficulty
After installation, I noticed that starting the engine took significantly longer. After long breaks (winter), you have to be very patient and have strong batteries, as well as using a starting spray. I had the original repaired and reinstalled it. After that, everything went back to normal. I have no further use for this starter and unfortunately cannot return it. My engine corresponds to the description. Installation was easier because the alternator did not have to be removed.

Mounted on Volvo Penta 2002
Fits volvo penta 2002, this starter works, but made in china, does not seem designed to last as long as the original starter. I hope I am wrong.

The product is already no longer working
Is there a 6 month warranty?

Dangerous product, should not be sold!!
Bought this product for my Volvo Engine last year, when I was 2 miles out of the harbor during a sailing trip and try to start the engine it failed. When I took already look, I saw that the metal casing just broke in two piece, this should never happen...... Just buy another product which is more reliable
