Vehicle electricsRemoving and installing starter
| Removing and installing starter |
| Renewing starter on vehicles with start/stop system: |
| Due to the higher requirements on the starter when the start/stop system is activated, e.g. in urban traffic/driving, the deep-cycle resistance has been increased and the ring gear reinforced. |
| When renewing starter, make sure the new one with the correct part designation as shown in → ETKA (electronic parts catalogue) is used. Components adapted to start/stop system are not identified separately and are not or barely different from normal components in their appearance. |
