check key elements such as power in kW, number of pinion teeth, type of mounting and direction of rotation.

2. Vehicle operation

for diesel engines, which require more energy, it is advisable to opt for a more powerful starter.

3. Quality and type of product

The choice of starter depends on your budget, your expectations in terms of reliability and the length of time you intend to keep your vehicle. Three main product categories are available on the market:

new starter: recommended for maximum service life

Understand the role of a starter motor and recognize signs of wear

The starter motor is an electric motor that starts the internal combustion engine when the engine is started. It drives the flywheel until the engine can run on its own. Without it, starting is impossible. Like any mechanical part, it can wear out or fail.

There are several signs of starter failure:

the engine won't start when the key is turned or the starter button is pressed

clicks can be heard, but the engine won't start

dashboard lights stay on, but nothing happens

These symptoms can also resemble those of a weak battery. So it's essential to carry out a battery test to make sure the problem is really with the starter motor.
