Who hast the most miles on their starter?!
ME!
So long story short my starter wasn't replaced when the coolant pipes were (Back around 60k miles), so it's the OEM starter with the "Damage" from being submerged in coolant. I remember seeing a thread in which mentioned that everyone usually replaces the starter at that same time, and that nobody expects a starter that's been submerged in coolant and making noise (Due to the Bendix piece sticking occasionaly (Most likely from old coolant that got on it)) but I'm here to report that 40k miles and 4 years later the starter is still running!
Just thought it was worth pointing out that starter replacement during plastic cooling pipe replacement isn't a strict nessecity, for the economic Cayenne crowd. My car should be proof enough of that!

I'm doing mine due to cooolant T repair and wonky intermittent starting.
