I am only guessing, but I think it's just the physical size if the thing. Nothing a shave with a grinder won't fix

I have seen a thread talking about this somewhere in here I think. AFAIK you have to grind a side because it's fatter than the 1.6l one to clear the block. |

Yeah the block wall is bigger. Alot of people get away with grinding down the edge of the stater that rubs. I usually machine and smooth down the whole housing so it fits with room to spare. Otherwise, The 1.6 starter will fit, and have heard the 1.3 gti one will also. |

You can get the narow body one on eBay a lot cheaper than buying one form an auto shop I have one and I've had no hassles with it after 18 months of uses |
