Starter Motor

The starter motor helps you in starting or igniting the engine by allowing the engine to get airflow. That is why it becomes vital for it to perform smoothly. You should also check for problems if you see any of the below-mentioned issues:

• The engine produces grinding noises
• Cranking noises instead of starting of the engine
• Repeated start attempts
• The starter doesn’t turn off after the engine starts
• Overheated starter gear
• Excessive smoke

There can be some other factors responsible for issues that look similar to starter motor problems, for instance, weak batteries, especially in winters. That is why it is crucial to check the parts properly before repairing or replacing them. Usually, they last about 150000 to 180000 kilometers.
