Thanks for the videos. Helped me rebuild my starter and get rid of the screech

Great vid. Can learn a lot from guys like you.

brilliant set of videos thank you Si your a godsend

Thanks SiRobb. Save myself some money...

Hi Rob. I have the same starter as this one. I have been searching for a video on how to service this bad boy and therefore found your video incredibly informative and a life saver (for my starter that is). Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us out here. I will definitely be following your channel. Stay safe bro.

Valeo 2.1kw starter for Renault master 2006 2.5dci, g9u engine. Left hand drive. Update, got the starter out, bloody thing had fused to the bellhousing! (no video mentioned this as a possibility!) Took me 8 hours to get it out. I opted for a hammer and a flat head screwdriver as a wedge and gently prayed it open. Upon first bench test the bendix shafts had a film of dirt and old dried lubricant, so did the copper cylinder that Controlls the plastic pulley arm (sorry don't know the proper name) and they were very stiff, the bendix wouldn't spin freely or reset in its proper hole, it would stay half way out. they all got a good clean with isopropyl alcohol, then lubed up with white lithium grease. Unfortunatly I could not get to the planet gears. Unlike yours, mine had a riveted metal plate covering them. Neither could I get the bendix gear off, since the "stopper" on the shaft was covered with a metal ring. I opted to just clean it as much as I could. Now it moves freely ! The brushes did not look worn at all, so I left them as is. The design was different from yours, mine didn't just slide out. I put it all back together, did another bench test and everything seems to work as it should. I will apply some copper paste where the starter meets the bellhousing so I don't have to go through prying it off again. Now to get the thing back in the van and see if she starts! Your video was a huge help! Update 2. Didn't work, bought a new bendix gear and changed it, now it works as it should. It was slipping before, even though it felt as is it was stopping. The torque of your hand isn't enough to make it slip.

thank you for your sharing sir.

Thanks for the video.

Great video - many thanks for taking the time. Could I ask where you go the new service kit from ? Thanks

great info

good job sir

Is it posibel to disabel the bendix mechanism? Ore reverse the bendix direction? I need badly disel starter motor with gear reduction . I managed to reverse direction for starter motor but me engine turns oposite direction ore to be precisely the disel starter has counter grewes drilled and the pinion spins in oposite direction. So any help please? I have same starter motor as you but I try to fit it to opel starter motor evry thing is the same but only problem I have is the clutch direction the bendix has oposite grewes drilled .

Thank you thank you so much

Thank you for these videos; I'm about to do my first starter motor rebuild and these videos are very helpful. Questions for you: --Why such little lubrication in the planetary gearbox? You used only a few drops of lubricant in the gearbox, a number of other online guides suggest more thorough greasing. --Why so much grease around the bearing? Isn't it a sealed bearing? TIA.

Great video, very detailed step by step instructions. I was curious if you noticed if the planetary gear had any lubrication from the factory? My starter has a squeal after start up and have seen some other videos of people greasing the planetary gear to resolve this. I am debating if I should grease or just clean? Some other people have posted worn bushing next to the flywheel and possibly the bendix. Your video will be helpful in the teardown and rebuild. Thank you.

Good morning

In my Vista petrol recently change solenoid but fitting in car it's not what could be wrong and repair

I watched these videos trying to get ideas on what to use to clean and relubricate the starter. You did a great job getting everything cleaned, and then put those nice shiny parts on the ground without a tarp or any cover. You can see leaves and other debris right there. It may not have been dirty enough to prevent the rebuilt from working but there was most likely some debris introduced into the starter. I did get some ideas about what to use for cleaning however so thanks. Also, you did a good job of explaining how to do it. I think I will go to brake cleaner for the non-electrical parts as I do not have diesel fuel on hand. As for lubrication, I have spray white lithium grease, dielectric grease, WD-40, silicone spray and some now defunct Dura Lube in a pump can.

Lovely detailed pair of videos... I feel a little more grease in the planetary gearbox would've been worthwhile though.

Did you guys soak the planetary gears in diesel? They have internal bearings. Also the aluminum "base" of the starter has a little internal bearing. I wonder about the impact of diesel on these bearings... Thanks

Super

Where do I get parts for my starter

Is it possible to just use one or 2 lubricants? Im on a limited budget, getting all the different greases for just a puff will be 40 quid! If you had to recommend just one or 2, what ones would you get?

can you mention which starter motor you r using

Sir

You don't add the iron

What brand/model number is this starter? Also can you repeat who the gear manufacturer was? Couldn't catch what you were saying! 😂

why didn't you grease the gears a little

Where is the bearing?

Ye ritzz gani का self hai

10:05.. gears go back dry? why you don't put grease on them?
