The starter motor is a central element in every motorised vehicle. Neither a petrol nor a diesel engine can start by itself in a standing position. The fuel in the engine is supplied with oxygen by suction and subsequent compression prior to ignition, the starter motor initiating this process. A defective starter causes serious problems.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is how a starter works<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"howThe starter motor enables the engine to run<\/strong><\/em>. A combustion engine<\/em> needs assistance to overcome mass inertia as well as friction and compression resistance. This is the starter’s task.<\/p>\n

Essentially, it is an electric motor directly driven by the battery. The starter motor in its turn drives a flywheel<\/strong><\/em>. During the starting procedure, the starter motor with its pinion sets a flywheel in motion at ca. 300 rpm<\/em>, which is sufficient to start the engine and allow the following process to function automatically. As soon as the ignition is completed and the engine is running independently, the starter is switched off.<\/p>\n

A starter is one of the most reliable components in a car and doesn’t need any maintenance<\/strong>. Nevertheless, defects can occur.<\/p>\n

Tell-tale signs of a defective starter<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"commonSeveral symptoms suggest a defective starter<\/strong><\/em>. It is important to heed these symptoms in order to react timely. If the starter is inoperative, the car can no longer be started<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
