What is the starter motor of my Citroen Visa used for?

  • Disconnect all of the power supplies that are connected to the starter
  • Position the jack below the engine when it moves a little.
  • Remove all fasteners and retain positions
  • Remove the starter
  • Set aside the mounting bracket, since it is not necessarily sold with the new starter
