This starter motor is designed for specific Citroën vehicles. Always confirm compatibility by matching the part specifications (12V, 1.9kW, 11 Teeth) and OEM numbers (e.g., 9555507680, 5802EA) with your vehicle's requirements.
'11 Teeth' refers to the number of teeth on the starter motor's pinion gear, which engages with the engine's flywheel ring gear to start the engine.
The rated power is 1.9 kilowatts (kW), and the voltage is 12 Volts (V). This indicates the motor's output power and electrical requirement.
Symptoms include a clicking noise without engine cranking, slow engine cranking, or no response at all when turning the ignition key. You may also notice a burning smell or see warning lights.
This Valeo starter motor comes with a 2-year warranty.
The technical information states 'Clamp: NO', indicating that this starter motor is designed to be mounted securely using bolts through its mounting holes, not with a clamp mechanism.
Check battery voltage and ensure connections are clean and secure. Verify the starter motor is correctly wired and that the ignition switch is functioning properly. If the issue persists, the starter motor may need replacement.
This often indicates low battery power or a poor electrical connection to the starter motor. Ensure the battery is fully charged and all terminals are clean and tight.
A weak battery is the most common cause. Test the battery's charge and capacity. A failing starter motor can also cause slow cranking.
Compatibility: Before purchasing, verify that the Valeo Starter Motor part number and its specifications (12V, 1.9kW, 11 Teeth, 3 mounting holes, 2 threaded holes, Clockwise Rotation) match your vehicle's original starter motor or are listed as a compatible replacement for your specific make and model, referencing OEM numbers like 9555507680 or 5802EA.
Setup: Installation requires disconnecting the vehicle's battery and unbolting the old starter motor. The new Valeo motor should be securely mounted using the three holes, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Connect the appropriate electrical terminals as per the vehicle's service manual.
Care: Starter motors are generally maintenance-free. However, ensure the electrical connections remain clean and tight. Avoid prolonged cranking, as this can overheat the starter motor. If the engine fails to start, limit cranking to 10-15 second intervals with a minute or two of rest in between.
