Do -it -yourself starter repair takes no more than an hour of work, even those who are doing this for the first time. In evidence, watch the video at the end of the article. But this is with the starter removed. In this article, we will completely analyze and collect the starter.
Important: Before you remove the starter from the car, you need to de -energize it (remove the terminals from the battery).
The key to the success of the successful repair of the starter with your own hands, this is the right diagnosis. From it and start.
Diagnostics.
The main problems with the starter:
When turning the ignition key, no action takes place.
Reason: no voltage is supplied to the starter.
The search starts from the starter. The indicator is looking for the cause of voltage loss. If the voltage approaches the starter, then the reason is most likely a malfunction of a retracting relay. You can spill it with a screwdriver with a screwdriver on the relay cover.
The starter is barely twisting.
Cause:
A) Singing battery.
Check the battery (the reason is not at all in the starter), and also check the car charging system.
B) starter brushes.
Replace the brushes.
C) Starter bushings.
Replace bushings.
G). The anchor or starter winding is faulty.
Earth.
E). The starter is not twisted (and this happens).
Twist.
The starter is spent normally, but does not promote the engine. In this case, there is a gnashing noise from the starter.
Cause:
A) Bendix defective.
Replacement.
B). A few teeth on the crown of the flywheel are broken off.
Change the crown or flywheel assembly with the crown.
IN). Starter gearbox.
Replacement.
Dismantling the starter.
Dismantling of absolutely any starter is the same.
It begins with the removal of the back cover. There is a brush node. We find a bolt holding the knot, unscrew it and carefully so as not to break the brushes, remove it. The height of the brushes should be at least 11 mm. If the height of the brushes does not meet the norm, we change them. Please note that on most starters, the wires from the brushes are welded to the holding plate. In such cases, completely brush node changes.
Next, a retracting relay is removed. It is attached with two/three (depending on the brand) bolts to the front cover.
Then the front cover itself is removed. To do this, we turn off the fasteners, from the side of the back cover, and take them out.
Now the front cover is free and we can calmly remove it.
This is a scheme for starters with a support front lid (as for a classic Lada). If the starter has an open fiery lid (as on VAZ 2109), then before the front cover is removed, the bendix should be removed. To do this, we leave the stop ring (towards the anchor) and freeing the bendix from the fork we remove the bendix.
And for starters with a gearbox (as on VAZ 2110), the anchor is simply removed from the case. And then everything is the same.
Now we change the faulty detail and we are the starter in the reverse order. Just remove all the garbage inside the starter.
Well, perhaps everything related to the repair of the starter with your own hands. Today we have learned to determine the starter malfunctions, disassemble it and change the broken details of the starter. You just have to write a review in a comment and share an article on social networks.
