The starter on our 2008 TDV8 gave up and just had the 'click'. So I ordered a new starter, part no LR032541. There is a surcharge, so it may be worth sending the old one back.

I've not changed one on a 3.6, but have on a 4.4. Was told that there is less room and I would have to disconnect the anti roll bar. Managed to do it without disconnecting, but very tight.

The cable I replaced was the smaller one from the start relay in the fuse box to the solenoid, too much of a volt drop on it. Spliced a new one in the fuse box near the relay and found a convenient run down to the starter. 2004 TD6 - Gone

Just done this on mine following this guide. Quite straight forward, only simple hand tools required plus a lot of patience trying to manoeuvre the motor through the chassis. Engine started instantly afterwards, which made me I realise I have had an issue for some time - sometimes when starting the car previously it would take a while to crank, sometimes it wouldn’t start without turning the ignition off and on, I initially thought it was delayed start waiting for glow plugs due to the cold weather. My dad borrowed the car a couple of weeks ago and said he struggled to start the car but I put that down to him being old and unfamiliar with the car

Having had a starter motor in pieces and seeing first hand how black and pitted the solenoid contacts get in normal non stop/start use they get, I can only presume that they get burned a bit every time they operate.

I tend to switch it off as I start the car, not happy messing with the car as not technically competent.

Took my old starter to bits out of curiosity and it had the same pitting on the solenoid terminals. The live feed being the main issue. 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

There's a whole other thread on replacing the starters on 4.4TDV8's with loads of pictures of the burnt terminals.

Do you have a link for this? Trying to find as much info on changing these as possible. I’m Getting a slight smell of hot plastic on drives of half an hour so. In Shauns posts there is a heat shield on the starter which mine didn’t have. Can’t see it listed on parts sites either. Was this removed at some point? Or not fitted until a certain date? Or maybe my starter has been done before and the shield was not put back! Not sure if one of the cables or the breather is getting warm, or if there is just a bit of oil residue burning off (fingers crossed). 2012 4.4TDV8 AB ——————————— 2016 Mercedes C350e 2003 TD6 Vogue 2010 Alpina D3 BT 2005 Audi A4 2.0TDi SLine 1973 Series IIa 2001 BMW 320 1996 Audi A4 1.6 |
