Starter motor OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

Honda starters are known to be finicky about voltage - they need that full 12.6v or they'll grind like crazy. I'd try a decent battery first before messing with the starter, way cheaper fix

Starter.. I had to get mine replaced after 4 years on a 2015 Honda accord

I had a customer that went through 4 starters from Napa. When I diagnosed it the starter was not fully engaging and grinding on the flywheel. Told them I needed to get a starter from Honda. After arguing and arguing and doubting and more arguing, the new starter from Honda fixed it.

I went ahead and replaced my starter when it sounded like that. Noise hasn\u2019t come back since.

If your battery is draining and/or this happens on every start, replace the starter. Had similar issues and replaced the starter and car starts way smoother now.

I've put 100k on my 2.4 Accord Coupe 6 speed, and other than the infamous starter problem, I've had to do nothing to it.

The only thing I hate is my civic ate a starter and replacing it myself was a POS because its under the engine. But my civic is still cheap to fix and maintain and relatively easy to work on compared to other brands.

I have a 2008 Accord coupe with its third starter. These things absolutely NEED a Honda OEM starter. Picky cars for that.

Need a new starter. This happened to my 2010 about 14 years after i bought it. After a few weeks of this it wouldn't start at all.

I’ve had the issue for a long time, since it was 11,000 miles or so, the dealer then diagnosed it with various things and replaced the starter, battery twice, and most recently in 2023, the button was replaced under recall.
