Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, we will see how to replace the starter motor in a Renault Megane 3 by following a few simple steps: lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod, disconnect the battery (unscrew the negative terminal with a 10mm socket), for safer working conditions.

Raise the front of the car with a jack and place safety stands.

Remove the undertray; once removed, you can see the starter motor located under the oil sensor against the radiator. Use an 8mm socket to unscrew the negative terminal, use a 10mm socket to unscrew the positive terminal nut, then use a screwdriver to disconnect the positive feed.

Now, unscrew the two supporting screws using a 13mm socket. The starter motor can now be removed.

Replace the old starter with the new one and reassemble all parts in reverse order.
