Description
Product Overview
This high-performance starter is designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with 2.0 and 2.2 HDI diesel engines. Engineered to deliver reliable engine cranking power, it ensures smooth and consistent starts even in demanding conditions.
The starter operates at a voltage of 12 volts and features a gear with 10 to 11 teeth, which meshes precisely with the vehicle’s flywheel for efficient torque transfer. With a power output of 2.3 kW, it provides sufficient power to turn over HDI engines effectively.
Function and Application
The starter’s primary role is to initiate engine operation by converting electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to crank the engine. Commonly installed in Citroën and Peugeot models fitted with 2.0 and 2.2 HDI engines, this unit is frequently searched for by its Bosch OEM number 0986018970 or product number 96356597.
Over time, starters may fail due to factors such as worn brushes, solenoid faults, or gear damage caused by heavy use or electrical stress. Routine inspection is recommended especially for vehicles with high mileage or experiencing hard start issues.
Replacement and Installation
Replacing the starter typically involves disconnecting the vehicle battery, safely removing electrical connections, and unbolting the starter from the engine block. Installation is the reverse process and should be carried out by professionals or skilled DIY enthusiasts to ensure proper fitment and function.
