I changed my starter motor yesterday on my 2005 2.0 tdci after the solenoid gave up and it took less than an hour. All you have to do is remove the engine cover ,remove the battery and battery tray. I then had access to the starter mounting bolts. Undid them and wiggled the starter up past the coolant hose to the thermostat , disconnected the wiring to the solenoid ( the wiring has a lot of slack) and it was out. Fitting the new one was just as easy , just in reverse.
Great video mate. I did one yesterday but I did mine a slightly different way (not saying you did it wrong because everyone does things a different way) but the way I did it was without jacking the car up. I removed the battery and battery tray, undid the bracket and starter motor bolts, you can then slide the starter motor towards where the battery was, then turn it upwards (the radiator hose is slightly in the way but managed without removing it) you can them remove the 2 wire's bolted to the starter motor, there was plenty of length in the wire's to do this, then it comes quite easily out from the top. The only problem I had was, was that there was nothing wrong with the starter motor in the end lol! It's also not a bad earth to the engine or a knackered battery. Am gonna have another look tomorrow, I'm thinking maybe a fault with the ignition barrel. Fingers crossed. Great video though, keep up the good work😊
thanks for your tip and hope mine is the starter motor as if dry I will be doing mine Sunday
Thank you for making this video. I wanted to remove the starter from my car myself, but now I changed my mind. I'll order a tow truck, let it be done by an electrician at the service.
Going to try and do this procedure on my 2009 Volvo V50 2.0 diesel. Thanks for showing that it can be done in your driveway 😊
Cheers dude you litrall diagnosed my problem in the first 2 mins of the vid I have that exact same issue
Thanks for the tutorial, I alsofound it easier to take out the N/S headlight, battery & tray, this gave me plenty of wiggle room to remove the old starter from the top.
Nice tip, thanks for sharing Neil.
Cheers
Martin
thanks for that Neil ..... im hoping for a dry day Sunday so I can change mine and will try your alternative removal method
Thanks for your tutorials, I really appreciate the help what you have given with these youtube videos.
Just changed my 2003 Mondeo TDCI starter. It was quite easy job, when first take off the fan panel. Those 10mm and 13mm long sockets will help the removal a lot.
Well done bud. Thanks for watching. Hope you sub to my channel.
Cheers
Martin
Of course I have subscribed your channel :).. Keep up the good work!
What a horrible job Martin,a real knuckle scraper.Bloody friction plate dust a real starter motor killer all the best keep up the good work.
+mrnatty122 It gets worse, the Dual Mass Flywheel is knackered so it's a gearbox out job. The Starter motor was just one of the symptoms as well as a knocking and rattling noise on tickover.. vids to follow.
Cheers
Martin
+retrorestore Not good news then, duel mass flywheels are more trouble than their worth just what you need leading up to Christmas Martin. All the best.
Thank you for the movie....good job man 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
had to swap the starter on my transit two days ago, exactly the same starter but much much easier to do, off and back on again in 30mins tops! the beauty of rear wheel drive! love the vids, keep them coming mate!
+ijustwanttoseetitty Yes, I have a Transit as well and it looks a lot easier on there.
Cheers
Martin
Excellent video - should tag X--Type and Volvo C30/S40/V50 2.0Ds as they have the same engine and issue. Amazing how much crap builds up in the motor!!
Good point bud, thanks
Martin
Thank you so much - really helpful video.
Couple of additional comments. We struggled with the bolts holding the fan to the radiator - discovered that the fan housing is hung from them so they just need loosening. Access and visibility to the fan and starter motor are improved by taking out the headlights which is really easy to do.
Nice comment bud. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Martin
Hello Martin, Seasons Greetings to you and your family!Excellent Vid, Thank you. T Shirt weather in December in the UK, can't believe how mild its been.. I'm certainly not going to complain about that!
+Nashmills Hi Nash, yes it's warm here, not like winter at all. ATB to you and your family as well.
Cheers
Martin
Hi man, you were great on the description, making it easy for mi to fix mine. Thanks a lot !
Hey bud, Glad the vid helped.
Cheers
Martin
Thanks for your videos. I follow closely from Spain.
Entonces somos dos!!
Not much room there at all Martin. You would think they could design it better for servicing. Looking forward to the re-install. Looks warm, +14c here.
+Brian Percival It amazes me that modern cars don't cater for repairs when they design these things. No common sense. Warm here as well.
Cheers
Martin
Mines just gone and was looking for quick fix , most older cars quick 3 bolts remove wires jobs done, sod all that I'll let my mate pull it apart lol
Man that thing was eating itself alive. I gasped when you tipped all that crap outta there.
Happy Holidays to you and the family,
Jay
+Jay Dighsx I's a common problem on these engines Jay. It's mostly the clutch dust has nowhere to go and the starter motor gobbles it all up lol.
All the best to you and your family.
Cheers
Martin
You are superMan - thank you for this video , I needed what I saw . I would always give you a beer .
Nicely demonstrated, i had to do something similar on the Golf and to say it was a pig was an understatement. Happy holidays fella.
+GTs Garage Cheers bud, Give me an older car to work on any day.
Cheers
Martin
Blimey Martin! That was a B*stard job! Now I know why working on small engines appeals so much more these days! Merry Christmas to you!
+jsof2 It get's worse, the gearbox has to come out now as the Dual Mass Flywheel has gone. I'll still have a merry Christmas though lol.
Cheers
Martin
Thanks for another great video....... my starter motor is turning very slowly almost like you have a low battery even though its at 13v and when engine running its at 14.6v so looking like the starter motor...
My turn in the morning just one last watch before I get stuck in i should find this easier room wise as im changing my power steering and waterpump then im fitting the starter motor while there off
Ford mondeo real man's car 💪
Thanks for your great vids this year mate, Always a pleasure to watch, Entertaining & Informative ,Merry Christmas & a happy new year to you Mart, Sharon, & the rest of your family.
Regards Baz (in drying out Carlisle)....
+moodyjeep Thanks Baz and hope things sort themselves out up there soon.
ATB
Martin
Those starters are in there in a tight space Martin .. Good work man !!
+ShawnMrFixit Lee Give me an older car to work on any day Shawn lol.
Cheers
Martin
Oh for sure Martin !!
Love your vids, Martin. Keep 'em coming!.
+Tiger moth Cheers bud, part 2 as soon as the part arrives.
Cheers
Martin
Do you have to unbolt the motor mount for a volvo 240 v50 gas to replace the starter??
Hi Martin whatever you do don't blow that starter motor out with the airline, maybe you know but clutch dust is one of the worst dusts get some of that in your lungs and it won't take much for you to suffer severely! Be careful with it on your hands too if you wipe your nose or something cause it's not normally this warm in Britain as you know so you'll do plenty of wiping you nose lol anyway happy birthday for the other day anyway! Have a good Christmas and new year will look forward to the future vids, great work keep it up!
+Jake Pearce Hi Jake, yes I know about that dust, thanks anyway and have a good Christmas yourself. I will have when I've fitted this and done the chainsaw lol.
Cheers
Martin
Remove the fans first its much easier.
the process shown in this tutorial would it be the same or if not similar on a ST220 petrol as I'm picking one up soon and the starter motor has gone on it any advice would be sound
its a totally different engine bud.
@@retrorestore yeah I know its 3.0 V6, I just wasn't sure weather it would be mounted on the same area of the engine. I've never worked on a 3.0 V6 so its all gonna be trial and error for me, most of all a learning curve. so any tips and advice wouldn't go a miss.
u dont need to take fan out ive done many by just moving battery and battery tray
Probably, it just makes life easier.
Definitely gonna subscribe to your channel
Great video as always Martin, always a struggle with starters not as easy as they used to be. Makes you wonder what the clutch plate is like with all the dust in the starter. Look forward to the next vid Martin.
Cheers Jeff.
+cabdriveruk Hi Jeff, i've been doing some research on this and it looks like I have a bigger problem. It looks like the Dual Mass Flywheel is shot. I have other symptoms like a grumbling sound at tickover which points to this. The starter motors fail and that's what's happened here.
Gotta think this one through as I don't have access to a ramp to get the gearbox out and it's an expensive fix. Nice just before Christmas.
Cheers
Martin
+retrorestore Hi Martin, i have read and heard of people who had converted the dual mass flywheel to a solid flywheel and clutch plate with springs in it instead of being built into the flywheel on the dual mass one. It might be worth looking into this option as the dual mass mass flywheels are quite expensive and the next time you will only have to replace the clutch plate.
Cheers Jeff.
Yes, i've herd some horror stories of that conversion as well. I gotta think this one through.
Cheers
Martin
Cheers mate, job done!!!
Nice one Bud.
Cheers
Martin
Good job Martin. I prefer the older cars a least you could work around the engine. atb G ;-)
+goonluv So do I Gordon but I don't like giving money to over inflated garages lol.
Cheers
Martin
+retrorestore so true my friend.
Top vid,just changed mine thanks to this vid it was easy to follow. Now just to put it all back together,did you do a part 2 as I can't find it.
No, because this was part of a bigger problem, Check out the DMF vids if you are interested,
Cheers
Martin
Late on parade . Hi Martin good work , like one of the people has said dual mass could be a sod ,
Perhaps you could convert it to a standard flywheel. Even a non gen part is pricey.
Cheers Pete.
+Peter Froud The DMS is shagged Pete. Just bought the new kit, vids to follow.
Cheers
Martin
Oh not good that.Hope it goes well.
Hi retrorestore, My starter motor is making a clicking noise when turning the key but nothing else happens I have the same car as you a ford mondeo mk3 but a 1.8 petrol engine. I know this will need replacing and I thank you for the video on how to do that but should I buy a brand new starter motor or would a second hand one be just as good?
Depends on how much you want to spend. I personally would fit a new one if it was a car I was going to keep.
Cheers
Martin
Are the petrol the same as the diesel in location as I can't find mine?
Hope its not the Dual Mass Flywheel on its way out Martin. I had that on my 2001 Mondeo and the starter motor went on that first.
+Mike J Flynn Doh !! I hope not Mike. This is the first port of call so i'll deal with this first. Some rumbling has developed over the last few weeks when the car is ticking over in neutral so i'll be keeping an eye on that.
Cheers
Martin
+retrorestore I am now suspecting the DMF as it's making the tell tale noises on tickover. I'm going to have to think on this one now.
i prefer the TDDI to the TDCI engine. it was much more reliable. i remember the early mondeo mk3 diesels starting up. the starter motors always turned over slow.
+michael jagger I never had one of those. I'll be working on the Mondeo very soon though.
Cheers
Martin
retrorestore we had a 2.0L mk3 mondeo in blue nice car but sometimes it didnt want to start. i noticed the acclaim in the background has the cyl head been skimmed yet?
michael jagger
Yes, but I have got to repair the Mondeo first.
retrorestore good luck with all the projects martin
Hi Martin would this apply to the 1.8 petrol version also cheers
+Sean Dwyer There;s not much to it so it should be similar.
Cheers
Martin
Hi. Where is Part 2?
This was the follow up as a result of removing the starter motor ua-cam.com/video/gItiTrz-0BE/v-deo.html
hy you make a video whit a transmision fluid change ?
No bud, not done one of those.
Cheers
Martin
Bit ironic that you bought this car to replace the old one where the box/clutch had failed. Would have been easier to sort that one as this new diesel is turning into a right lemon.
+b10xtn Haha, I've done quite a few jobs on this one but the Dual Mass Flywheel is a common problem on many cars but it's a good car as i've done quite a few of the jobs you can expect to do on a car covering 145,000 miles. It's all a learning curve as i've never had a front wheel drive gearbox out so it's a project i'm looking forward to.
Cheers
Martin
I find all these plastic motor covers ridiculous. The hood (bonnet) is for appearance. Who are they trying to impress? The mechanics?
+Jeff Collins I know what you mean Jeff. They just don't look pretty any more with all those sensor cables running over the engines nowadays.
Cheers
Martin
Hope this wasn't your birthday treat!
+Mower Man Haha, Always stuff to do here Paul.
part 2 Anytime Soon?😃
+mutatismutandis82 Hi, This video was the result of a knackered flywheel. To see what caused the starter motor to fail, see my other vids at ua-cam.com/video/gItiTrz-0BE/v-deo.html
+retrorestore ok, my starter motor just crashed and i'm about to put on a new one.. anyththing i should be aware of before i start? btw, Love ur videos!!
mutatismutandis82
Not much to it, just an awkward connector tab to release. I did it with a little screwdriver to push the tab in to remove the connector.
Hey ! Where is part 2?
This is the follow on video that revealed why the starter motor failed. ua-cam.com/video/gItiTrz-0BE/v-deo.html
