anyone know a thing or two about starter motors

Hi i've just purchased a starter motor from ebay and guess what.......

Yep its not the right one well at least the part numbers dont seem to add up.

The numbers on mine are: 020 911 023 F and the new one is: 020 911 023 A. DOes anyone know the differance. They both seem the same size and shape, i've lined it up to my car and it seems to fit. The only differance is the screw thread on the new one (there isn't any) whereas mine do. Would it be a sensible idea to drill new thread for the screws or am i just asking for trouble!

Thanks in advance

Phone Audi and ask what the 023 A fits.
