Application & Compatibility
This starter is intended for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with PSA 1.8 16V, 2.0 16V and 2.2 16V engines. Compatibility is determined by engine and OE product codes rather than vehicle model year alone. Always verify fitment by comparing the OEM numbers listed below with the vehicle’s existing starter or parts catalogue before purchase.
Function And Common Failure Modes
The starter converts electrical energy from the battery into mechanical torque to crank the engine via the flywheel. Common causes of starter failure include worn brushes and commutator, solenoid malfunction, contamination by oil or coolant, thermal stress from repeated starts, and electrical issues such as poor ground or low battery voltage. Symptoms of a failing starter include intermittent cranking, grinding noises, rapid clicking, or no crank at all.
Replacement Guide
Basic replacement steps (recommended for qualified technicians or experienced DIYers):
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits.
- Raise and securely support the vehicle to access the starter (if mounted underneath).
- Locate the starter at the transmission bellhousing and note the orientation and wiring.
- Disconnect electrical connectors and remove mounting bolts. Keep track of bolt positions.
- Fit the new starter, reconnect wiring, torque mounting bolts to manufacturer recommendations, and reconnect the battery.
- Verify installation by performing a starter function test and checking for proper engagement and no abnormal noises.
