Video tutorial

This video shows where the starter motor is located in the Citroen C3 and how to proceed if you need to replace it. As shown, it is located on the left side of the engine, just below the battery at about half height. To access it, first remove the battery, the supporting base, and the control unit.

Once this is done, go underneath the vehicle, unscrew each securing bolt of the starter motor, and separate it from the engine. Due to the complexity of the operation, it is advisable to carry it out in the presence of a qualified person.
