Description
Product Overview
This starter motor is designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot 2.7HDI and 3.0HDI diesel engines, ensuring reliable engine ignition and smooth performance. Compatible with models such as Citroën C5 III, C6 and Peugeot 407 and 607, it offers an efficient and direct fit replacement for worn or faulty starters.
Function and Application
The starter’s primary function is to crank the engine, initiating the combustion process necessary for the engine to run. It operates on a 12-volt electrical system and features 21 teeth on the pinion gear to properly engage with the flywheel. Its rotation is counterclockwise, matching the engine’s crankshaft rotational direction to guarantee optimal meshing and longevity.
Why Starters Fail and Replacement Tips
Starters commonly fail due to wear on the pinion teeth, electrical issues such as worn brushes or solenoid problems, and exposure to heat and moisture which can degrade components over time. Regular checks for unusual noises during engine start, slow cranking, or complete failure to start indicate it may be time to replace the starter. Proper installation involves disconnecting the battery, removing the faulty starter, and installing the new unit ensuring all electrical connections are secure.
