This Mitsubishi starter motor (M000T86081) is a direct-fit unit used on a range of PSA petrol engines with 16‑valve cylinder heads. It is commonly referenced under manufacturer codes 5802V7, 5802W1 and 5802CW and is intended for technicians and experienced DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable replacement starter for Citroën and Peugeot models fitted with 1.8, 2.0 or 2.2 16V petrol engines.

The starter delivers the necessary torque to crank the engine reliably and integrates the pinion, drive assembly and starter solenoid in a compact housing. Proper selection by part number (M000T86081 / 5802V7 / 5802W1 / 5802CW) ensures correct fitment and electrical connections. Ideal for workshops and home mechanics who search by OE references when sourcing parts.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Mitsubishi
• Model / Application: 1.8 16V, 2.0 16V, 2.2 16V petrol engines (Citroën / Peugeot)
• Product Codes: M000T86081
• Other Numbers: 5802V7, 5802W1, 5802CW

Fitment Notes

Fits a range of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles equipped with the listed 16V petrol engines. Always confirm the required starter by matching the part number on the original unit with M000T86081 or the PSA references 5802V7 / 5802W1 / 5802CW. Connector type and mounting flange must match the vehicle’s original starter to ensure correct installation.

Installation Recommendations

Before starting, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Support the vehicle safely and access the starter from below or through the engine bay depending on the model. Note the orientation and wiring of the starter: mark and disconnect all electrical connections (battery cable and solenoid control). Remove mounting bolts, withdraw the starter and compare the replacement unit to the old one for identical mounting points and connector types. Clean mating surfaces and inspect the flywheel/flexplate teeth for damage before installation. Refit the starter, secure mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification, reconnect electrical leads ensuring good, clean contacts and finally reconnect the battery. Perform a functional check: fast cranking without grinding indicates correct engagement.

Most Common Failure Reasons

Starters typically fail due to normal wear of internal components (brushes, commutator, pinion and solenoid), contamination from engine oil or coolant leaks, corrosion or poor electrical connections, and excessive cranking under weak battery conditions. Intermittent operation is often electrical—check battery condition, ground straps and wiring before replacing the starter.

Practical Tips

• Always check the battery voltage and starter current draw when diagnosing a no-crank or slow-crank condition.
• Inspect associated parts (flywheel teeth, starter mounting flange, wiring harness) to avoid repeat failures after replacement.
• When replacing the starter, ensure the replacement shares the same pinion tooth count and mounting pattern as the original.

Function And Typical Faults

The Starter Motor Converts Electrical Energy From The Battery Into Mechanical Rotation To Crank The Engine. Key Components Include The Pinion Gear, Bendix Drive, Solenoid, Armature And Brushes. Typical Failure Modes Are Worn Brushes Or Commutator, Solenoid Malfunction, Bendix Or Pinion Wear, Oil Contamination From Engine Leaks And Heat-Related Damage.

Why The Part Most Often Fails

• Wear Of Brushes And Commutator After High Mileage Or Aggressive Use.
• Frequent Short Trips Causing Heavy Cranking Cycles Without Full Recharge.
• Oil Or Coolant Leaks Contaminating The Starter Housing And Reducing Insulation.
• Corroded Or Loose Electrical Connections Causing Overheating Or Intermittent Operation.
• Damaged Bendix Or Ring Gear Teeth Due To Repeated Slipping Or Misengagement.

Replacement Procedure

General Steps For Replacement (Follow Vehicle Manufacturer Procedure):

1. Disconnect The Negative Battery Cable Before Starting Work.
2. Raise And Secure The Vehicle If Required To Access The Starter.
3. Locate The Starter At The Bell Housing Area On The Engine/Transmission Interface.
4. Label And Disconnect Electrical Connections: Battery Feed, Solenoid Wire And Any Additional Plugs.
5. Support The Starter, Remove Mounting Bolts And Extract The Unit Carefully.
6. Compare New Starter With Removed Unit For Mounting Orientation And Electrical Terminals.
7. Install New Starter, Tighten Fasteners To Manufacturer Recommendations, Reconnect Wiring And Lower The Vehicle.
8. Reconnect Battery And Verify Proper Engagement And Cranking Speed. Check For Unusual Noises Or Oil Leaks.

Installation Recommendations

• Always Disconnect The Battery Before Removing Or Installing The Starter To Prevent Short Circuits And Damage.
• Inspect Electrical Cables, Battery Condition And Earth Connections While Replacing The Starter — Poor Power Supply Is A Common Cause Of Premature Failure.
• Check The Flywheel Ring Gear For Damaged Teeth When Removing The Starter.
• Replace Mounting Hardware If Corroded And Ensure Correct Alignment To Prevent Bendix Misengagement.
• After Installation, Perform Several Crank Cycles With Engine Not Starting To Confirm Smooth Engagement, Then Start Engine And Recheck Fasteners.
