Starter motor broken

The starter motor is one of the most heavily used parts of your car. Often the self-starter however is neglected in terms of maintenance, while this part is very wear-sensitive. The starter is for example prone to rust at connection points of the starter or at the battery. A bad connection may occur between the terminals, brushes and/or wires. The bearing may also be worn, which is also applicable to the teeth of the flywheel. A malfunctioning starter can also be caused by an empty or broken battery. You can identify a failing starter motor by one of the following points:

The starter motor is running but the engine does not start;

Self-starter does not work;

Indefinable sounds;

The starter keeps running, even after the engine has started.

Before replacing the starter motor, and also if it has already been replaced, we recommend to first check the battery. It is possible that your car battery is empty or also fails. It is important to check the wires of the battery as well. Are the wires still intact? That´s good. Please check however if the brightness of the headlights and the sound of the horn. If the light is not as bright as normal or the sound of the horn is not loud enough, the battery may still not be working properly and needs replacing as well.

Replacing the starter motor

If a starter motor fails, the vehicle won't turn over or crank – and will need replacing. Is the starter of your car defect? You then may choose to replace it yourself, which is a lot cheaper than having it replaced at a garage. A new self-starter easily costs more than £ 100. Of course this depends on the brand and type of car you own. At a garage mechanics easily take up to 1 to 2 hours to replace the starter motor, which can greatly add to the assembly costs.Replacing the starter motor does not necessarily have to be difficult or time-consuming. This often depends on where and how it is assembled. The self-starter is attached to the positive pole of the battery. That is the reason why you always need to disconnect the battery before you remove the cranking motor. Start though with disconnecting the negative pole. The negative pole is connected directly to the car. If you start with the plus pole, a short circuit may be created. With some cars it is best to take the battery out completely in order to better get to the cranking motor. Next, loosen the two bolts that hold the self-starter in place. These are often tightened, so make sure you have the right tools for this. Now you can remove the starter motor and put in the new one. Attention! Consult your vehicle manual for disconnecting the battery. More modern cars may have a specific protocol for disconnecting the battery.

Buying a new starter motor

Replacing a starter motor yourself is possible if you are a bit handy. It can save you serious money. You can order a new starter at Winparts from as little as £ 59. The costs for getting it fixed at a garage can easily add up to £ 300 to 500. Again, this depends on the make and type of car. It’s easy to find a car specific starter motor from our wide range of starters by using the number plate check or vehicle selector. You can also reach out to us for other components of the engine.

Starter motor

Only hear a hard ‘click’ when you turn the key? Is there sufficient power but the motor does not fire? These are clear signs that the starter motor needs to be replaced. Buying a new starter is easy and inexpensive at Winparts. You can order a self-starter for every budget at Winparts. On established brands such as Bosch or Valeo a recycle fee is applicable. The fee will be refunded when you return the old one. Eurotec starter motors however are recycle fee free. At recycle fee free products the old starter does not have to be returned.
