Product Overview
This Mitsubishi starter motor is designed for use with Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with 1.8L 16V, 2.0L 16V, and 2.2L 16V engines. It is an essential component responsible for initiating the engine’s combustion process by providing the necessary torque to turn the engine over.
The starter is commonly searched by its product codes, making it easy for mechanics and DIY vehicle owners to find the exact fit for their vehicle. It fits models powered by PSA group engines where these specific displacement and valve configurations are present.
Function and Replacement Details
The starter motor plays a crucial role in starting the engine. Over time, starters can fail due to wear on internal brushes, solenoids, or gear mechanisms. Common symptoms of a failing starter include slow cranking, clicking noises, or complete failure to start. Regular inspection during routine maintenance is advised, especially for vehicles frequently used in stop-and-go traffic or harsh environments where starters endure more stress.
Replacing the starter involves disconnecting the battery to ensure safety, removing the faulty starter from the engine block, and fitting the new starter by securing the mounting bolts and reconnecting the electrical connections. This process typically requires basic hand tools and mechanical knowledge, making it suitable for professional mechanics or experienced car enthusiasts.
