Peugeot 206, how to replace the starter motor!

SqE - General Car Care
Episode 2
Let's do some more work on my daily driver, a Peugeot 206 Sport 2005. I will show you how I replace a starter motor on a Peugeot 206. Unfortunately the quality is not as good as in my Japanese cars that I've had previously and currently. The starter motor is going out, because it can't handle hot starts.
Initially I thought it had to do with battery connections or the charge level of the battery. So from parking the car I had to wait about one hour before I could start it again. Of course it was dependent on driving style and climate as that changes how much heat the starter is exposed to.
Since we are heading towards summer the situation will not improve so I decided to bite the bullet and replace the starter motor.
The starter I bought was a cheap one but as you see it looks ok and the only modification I needed to do was to make a small cable in order to skip cutting anything.
I did not look through any guides or anything before doing this which I guess you can understand while watching this episode. This is the reason why I raise and lower the car multiple times.
The space to work in is quite small and dark so I apologise for it being hard to see the details of this work.
I'm also presenting this episode a bit differently, so please, enjoy!

Nice work. Thanks for giving me the confidence to have a go at this!

[@SqEngineering]

Thank you! That is awesome! Thank you for commenting.

Well, a bit of constructive criticism, the video quality is good But no one can actually see what your actually working on except from the title. is the solenoid at the top or the bottom all we see is your hands moving but your also not saying anything as to what's happening.

Hello Glen, thank you for your comment. I appreciate you taking your time to make a comment. One of the reasons for doing this is to learn and get better so I will keep your comments for the next time I'm recording and I'll try and improve on this. Thank you again.

Hard to see what you are doing, but it is not your fault. It is impossible to see the starter motor because it is so far behind the engine. I did it on a 206cc with the 16 valve motor. Not easy.

Hello Robert, thank you for your comment! Yes it's a very tight area to film in. Even the work is done more by feel than visual. I will do my best to improve on this the next time I'm doing something similar. Thanks!

Yay... I tuned in to this video on such an occasion. Nice to know. I'ma do that tomorrow then... *sigh

[@micaeljoaquim9642]

Going to remove one tomrrow at work, I'll let you know how it went! :D

[@SqEngineering]

Haha that's great. Remember that you can do everything from above

[@huszaratraktor]

"I'll let you know how it went" **last seen 1 year ago** Oh boy

[@SqEngineering]

Hehe perhaps it was a piece of cake

[@Kai_SIXXSTRINGS]

Is there somebody laying in the car ? 🤣

[@SqEngineering]

Haha yes she was tired 😂

[@RecklessGenesis]

Buy a bed bro

[@joestoner817]

What a waste of electrons!! GREAT video of mechanic and NOT what he's doing!!!!!

[@SqEngineering]

Awesome comment...

[@CarlosMartinezEzeta]

I did this exact job and it didnt work. Plz help

[@SqEngineering]

In what way does it not work?

[@CarlosMartinezEzeta]

@@SqEngineering the pug left me stranded with the starter doing one click only when turning the key. I replaced the starter assembly with a new one thinking that would get it fixed and it is quite frustrating it doesnt solve the problem. Battery terminals were cleaned also

[@SqEngineering]

Is your battery ok? Have you had it tested?

[@CarlosMartinezEzeta]

@@SqEngineering i found the problem A/C pulley bearing failed and got tightly bonded restricting belt and engine movement

[@SqEngineering]

I see, so your problem was not only when the engine was warm? Your engine wouldn't even start when it was cold?

[@jallohsheikh388]

A video about starter replacement that didn’t show how the starter is replaced. Great work but no great work

[@SqEngineering]

Thank you for your comment! All comments count, even bad ones. I did my best at the time and despite the resulting video, it has provided a link to other people who are about to replace their starter. And I have been able to provide them with information about the work ahead as well as answers to their questions. So in my opinion, it's a success!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to give me feedback. I'm still learning so this is appreciated. Hopefully the next episode will be better. Thanks.
