Its robust construction and precise engineering ensure reliable performance and extended service life, improving overall engine efficiency and reducing the risk of starting failures. This starter is made in Germany.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, the starter’s job is to crank the engine. When you turn the key, it’s what gets everything moving initially. It’s an electric motor that spins the engine until it can run on its own power. It has a few parts working together – a motor, a solenoid which acts like a switch to send power to the motor, and a drive gear that meshes with the flywheel to actually turn the engine over. Once the engine is running, the starter disengages. Think of it as the initial kickstart for your car. Without it, the engine just… sits there. It's a core component needed to actually get the car going. It works with the battery and ignition system; they all have to be in good shape for it to function properly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, obviously, if your starter goes bad, your car won't start. You’ll notice if it’s failing because you might hear a clicking sound when you turn the key, or the engine might crank slowly, or not at all. It’s a pretty vital part, and a failing starter can leave you stranded. We carry a good selection here, and you can also find starters on sites like Fixparts Online. Replacing it is usually pretty straightforward, but if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, it’s best to have a mechanic take a look.
