Installation recommendations

Generally and typically for starter replacement, the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific car model and engine compartment design. Below is a practical general procedure for this type of part.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new and original part by manufacturer, designation TS22E26 CL6, voltage 12 V, number of teeth 11 and by body shape.
• Check the compatibility of the attachment points, electrical connections and the overall design of the starter.
• Inspect the condition of the pinion, threads, contacts and body of the part, whether it is mechanically damaged or dirty.
• Disconnect the battery before working to avoid a short circuit or damage to the wiring.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• set of common hand tools
• ratchet and suitable attachments
• extensions and joints for hard-to-reach places
• contact cleaner
• brush or cloth for cleaning the contact surfaces
• protective gloves and work lighting

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and secure it against movement.
2. Disconnect the battery and wait until the car’s electrical system is completely disconnected.
3. If necessary, create access to the disassembled starter by removing obstructing covers or surrounding parts.
4. Mark the electrical connections so that they are not confused during reassembly.
5. Disconnect the electrical connectors and power cables from the old starter.
6. Loosen the fixing screws and carefully remove the old starter.
7. Clean the seating surfaces and check the condition of the wiring, connectors and surrounding parts.
8. Compare the disassembled piece with the supplied part, especially dimensions, teeth and connections.
9. Place the starter in place and fasten it in the original way.
10. Connect the electrical wires and connectors so that the contacts are clean and firmly seated.
11. Check that the wiring does not come into contact with moving or hot parts anywhere.
12. Reinstall all removed covers and access parts.
13. Connect the battery and perform the first test start.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive / function verification
  • Verify that the starter engages smoothly and without unusual noises when starting.
  • Check if contacts or wiring are overheating.
  • After a few starts, check that the fastening is tight and nothing has come loose.
  • After a short drive or operational inspection, visually check the installation area again.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Part exchange based on similar number – always compare all markings and designs.
  • Battery not disconnected – risk of short circuit or damage to the electrical system.
  • Dirty or loose contacts – may cause malfunction or overheating.
  • Insufficient cleaning of the contact surfaces – can affect the correct seating of the part.
  • Damage to cabling during installation – cables must be routed safely and without tension.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • normal wear from frequent engine starts
  • long-term load with worse starts
  • weak battery or voltage fluctuations in the electrical system
  • dirt, moisture or corrosion of electrical contacts
  • mechanical wear of the pinion and internal parts of the starter
  • loose or transient resistance electrical connections
