This famous starter is starting to weaken, it's time to change it. Do not delay too long if you notice, because when the starter fails you will not be able to start your Seat Ibe. Here is a text so as to replace its starter and assimilate its activity.
What is the starter for my Seat Ibe used for?
A starter turns out to be an electric motor within the engine of your Seat Ibe. The latter extracts electricity from the battery in order to start, and starts the impulse to the engine so that it starts. So, if you want to know that this is indeed a starter problem and not a battery problem, we invite you to read the file on startup problems. Now that you've identified the concern, it's time to get to the heart of the matter.
How to change the starter on my Seat Ibe?
Before starting the tasks, make sure you have the necessary tools. If you wish to carry out this manipulation you will necessarily need a complete toolbox, your jack, a wire brush but also a pair of candles.
Remove the old starter
If you want to perform this operation, the most important thing turns out to be to correctly memorize the positions, especially for the wires. We invite you to stamp them if you are afraid of forgetting.
- Disconnect the minus terminal from the battery of your Seat Ibe.
- If accessing the starter from the top is really difficult, you can use the jack stands to get there from below.
- Disconnect all of the power supplies that are connected to the starter
- Place the jack under the engine when it is wavering slightly.
- Clear all the fixings and memorize the positions
- Remove the starter
- Keep the mounting base, since it is not necessarily supplied with the brand new starter
- Polish the pods which will sometimes be oxidized using a brush
Install the new starter
Now that you have memorized the operation, it will be enough for you to do the maneuver in the other direction.
- Compare the old starter of your Seat Ibe with the new one to be able to discern if there are certain differences in mounting system, and this is not unusual.
- Reposition the starter base to its position
- Mount the new starter in its location
- Make sure it is perfectly in its base and screw
- Reattach the power supplies to the starter
- Reattach the negative terminal of your battery.
It is done. Now mounting a starter on your Seat Ibe is not magic for your eyes. Good ride, and you can write a comment if this little tutorial has made your task easier!
