⚙️ Key Features

• 8.401 kg
• Supersedes 3588493 and 3841363
• Starting System group
• Complete motor with solenoid

🔌 Function

Turns the engine over on the starter ring gear fast enough for it to fire, then releases as the engine picks up its own speed.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• A single click from the solenoid with no rotation
• Slow, laboured cranking with the batteries known to be good
• A harsh grinding or whirring as the pinion fails to engage cleanly
• Starter staying engaged after the engine has fired
• Hot smell or scorched paint on the starter body after cranking

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the batteries, main cables and earth strap before condemning the starter - voltage drop across a corroded connection mimics a failed motor exactly
• Inspect the flywheel ring gear teeth while the starter is out; a chewed ring will destroy a new pinion
• Because two older numbers are consolidated here, check that the mounting flange and pinion match what came off
