Mate thanks, apparently even 9 teeth is ok but it was an 11 teeth Denso that was stock on vehicle.....looking forward just wondering IF i should fork out 80euros for the guy to revive the original denso incase this seemingly chinese ones packs in (no disrespect to anyone chinese reading here by the way, and for what its worth pretty sure that part of bosch has been outsourced there and part of bosch been bought out by some chinese firm too).
Anyway Carbon brushes were fine but the inside looked pretty dusty with a few flakes that seemed to have come off the magnets in the housing ...at least having the original one back there is no doubt it is a match
What a day.....got there at 9am and got bcak home at 5pm with a 1 hour wonder around during their lunch break....thanks again
PS also vibered my battery man who had said the starter was NOT an issue....asking him if there was a way to preserve the new battery he gave me that i didnt really need
, no answer yet. I may just keep it on rather than put back the bosch.
reply is from herth+buss when I queried their parts compatibilty.
I forwarded your e-mail to product manager.
According his feedback you can mount item no. 42017300
1. picture with Denso 7788680 > 2,0 kW; 11 teeth
H+B Elparts 42017300 > 2,0 kW; 9 teeth but it’s not important because the gear is not centrally mounted.
Hope I could help you
