The starter is starting to get temperamental, it's time to change it. Do not delay too long when you notice it, because when the starter is permanently broken you will no longer be able to start your Iveco Minivan. You will find below a small guide to replace its starter and understand its principle.
What is the starter of my Iveco Minivan for?
The starter turns out to be an electric motor inside the engine of your Iveco Minivan. It draws electricity from the battery to start, and gives the impulse to the engine to start. So, if you want to be sure that this is indeed a starter concern and not another problem, we suggest you read the article on startup problems. Now that we have spotted the problem, let's get down to business.
How do I change the starter on my Iveco Minivan?
Before tackling operations, make sure you have the necessary tools. For this operation you will need an integral toolbox, your jack, your wire brush but also a pair of candles.
Remove the old starter
For this action, what is important is to really visualize the positions, for the cables in particular. We invite you to stamp them if that can help you.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal from your Iveco Minivan.
- In case access to the starter from the top is too difficult, do not hesitate to use the jack stands so as to access it from below.
- Disconnect all of the power supplies connecting to the starter
- Place your jack under the engine in case the engine is moving a bit.
- Dismantle all the fixings and retain the positions
- Remove the starter
- Recover the mounting base, since it will not be systematically sold with the starter to be assembled
- Polish the pods which will sometimes be oxidized using a brush
Install the new starter
Now that we have visualized the manipulation, it will be almost enough to carry out the reverse procedure.
- Parallel the old starter of your Iveco Minivan with the brand new one to see if there are dissimilarities in the fixing system, and this is not unusual.
- Replace the starter base in its place
- Place the famous starter in its location
- Make sure that it is well on its base and screw
- Connect the wires to the starter
- Reattach the negative battery terminal.
