Starter Motor Replacement

Model: Peugeot 406 MK 1 - Years 1995-2005
Part: Starter motor

Before starting the disassembly of the starter motor, disconnect the battery; at this point, it is necessary to remove the air filter housing to access the starter's mounting bolts and also the fuel filter to access the power cables (once the filter is removed, apply latex gloves to the ends of the pipes to contain any potential fuel spillage); once the cables are disconnected and the starter's mounting bolts are removed, it is possible to slide it out of its housing and proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one: you may also opt for a refurbished one.
