Perhaps this is typical for early 2000s Bosch.

My service manual even lists a specific grease ... Bosch PZ 2 V 3 silicone grease or equivalent

Good luck finding that. Think I used DuPont Krytox
I had several people mention doing that, but you have to remove so much stuff to get to the starter, I figured just replace so I didn't have to go through the re-greasing process down the road.
