Vauxhall Astra 1.7CDTI Starter Removal

Pretty straightforward, just a bit fiddly on top bolt due to obstruction. If you have a deep socket E18 that would probably be easier than messing about with extensions and flex coupling.

Thanks for the video. I removed the battery tray which gave me much better access to the E18 bolt head.

I've been at this for 2 hours and still can't get to the e18 bolt. 5 or 6 speed box?

[@thpxs0554]

Hi, it’s a 6 speed, try taking out the battery tray. 3 bolts I think, 2 under the battery and one outside the tray by the suspension strut, there’s a relay of some sort clipped to the tray as well. That should really help. Assuming you have the same engine and box,

[@azimuth2142]

Did all that. No way was that e18 going in there. I spent hours swearing at the thing. I even used you gear selection idea and no joy.

[@thpxs0554]

@@azimuth2142 did you get it in the end? My e18 is a 3/8 drive, so it’s not much bigger than the drive peg. Maybe put a torx or a hex back in instead. It was fiddly and I would have taken a hose off if I hadn’t got the socket in. But I don’t think the whole job was more than an hour.

[@azimuth2142]

I was using half inch, it was my only option as I've no adapters.

[@thpxs0554]

@@azimuth2142 that’ll be the issue I’m sure, it was tricky with 3/8. Is it all done

Salut l'ami j'ai réparé mon démarreur j'ai changé les charbons, sauf la bobine qui est dans le même état est pas moyen de redémarrer elle fait un bruit de perceuse c'est une opel est le même démarreur

[@thpxs0554]

Salut Je ne parle pas francais mais Je pense que tu dis que as change les balais de charbon mais maintenant ca fait beaucoup de bruit et ne demarre pas. So vous etes sur que le probleme vient du demarreur alors je de remplacerais simplement,ils ne sont pas vraiment concus pour etre repares comme les anciens . Je verifierais egalement les dents du volant au cas ou elles seraient endommagees,car cela pourrait etre le probleme a l origine du bruit. J’ espere que cela a du sens. J’ai utilise une application de traduction.

Merci j'ai très bien compris le sens de la réponse je vais le redemonté et rejeté un oeil j'en ai déjà démonté et réparé ça a toujours fonctionné on verra bien en tout cas merci encore
