Stuck a new starter motor on, old one was starting to feel like it was struggling.

Did you compare the new and old with a multimeter while off the van? Wondering if it was failing electrically or mechanically?
Do you use Stop / Start?
What is the mileage?
Currently running a 220K mile Audi on the original starter motor, no issues, looks like the standard of VAG sub-components is dropping off the cliff.

Mechanically it felt fine I think it was more electrical. I was getting very bad flickering lights during start up and it has now gone, like it was having to work very hard to crank.
I don’t use start stop and the van is on 152,000 miles.
