The starters are the same & spin the same speed but at one time you could purchase a replacement starter manufactured by an Italian company that did spin faster in either car. The starters were intended for older, harder to start Mercedes diesels. I don't remember the name of the company & don't know if they are still available.

Can anyone verify that? I have a 1983 240D with 282,000 miles on it and I want drive it this winter. I am going to need all the help I can get. In preparation I have adjusted the valves, new air filter, changed all fuel filters and put in new glow plugs Also, what are the differences between the two starters? Do they look different or do they have identifying numbers or marks?
