Would a 3.0i starter fit? I have an OEM one that was still working. I replaced it as preventative maintenance. The intake was off. I couldn't resist replacing it since it was so easy. If they are possible to clean up, you can have it for use. It's just sitting in a box collecting dust. Maybe one day, I'll take it apart out of curiosity.
