starter

I've recently bought this Alfa and immediately seem to be victim of one of the traditional electrical 'charms' that one reads about quite regularly. Having said this I've searched around and can't find a definitive answer for the fault I'm experiencing: Every so often the car won't start; all...

Hi all I have a GT 3.2 LT. Have a problem where it’s struggling to turnover when starting. If I turn off and start up again with a minute or so it turns over ok. But if I wait a few minutes before trying again it struggles ? The battery is fully charged and alternator is charging correctly...

The starter motor on my V6 GTV is struggling to turn the engine over fast enough to start it... so I may need to replace it (the starter motor, that is...). Has anyone done this themselves... and if so, did you remove it from below or above? If anyone can list the steps required I’d appreciate...

Hi everyone, My late Dad’s old 75 TS LE has been off the road for quite a few years after an MOT failure, rust at the back end due to a leak in the boot. It used to start and run fine but the starter motor has gone, it was on the way out for a while. I have a replacement starter and would like...

Hey, my alfa romeo 147 started having an issue when the key gives contact but the electricity in the car is low. The wipers are moving slower than before and I cant rolll my windows down and up, untill I dont turn it on, then it works fine. But turning the car on is also slower, it kinda takes...

hello hello My beloved 156 has finally actually broken something important after more than 250,000 kms of loyal service! Starter motor fried itself in a puff of smoke (or so the mechanic says, I personally just heard a sound like castanets in a flamenco band and then saw a puff of smoke)...

Hi all, Just wanted to share the following - for those who suddenly experience the following symptoms on 2010 Giulietta Cloverleaf (manual transmission): 1. Dead engine starter motor, not turning at all 2. Rest of the accessories work well (locks, lights, air-con-fan, radio, etc..) 3. When...

Hello, Strange issue with starting 159 1.9D 110kw manual 2006. It started with fuse3 20amp burning out (electronic steering lock module). Replaced fuse, checked battery, ignition relay - all ok. But it still burns that 20amp fuse. Replaced with 40amp fuse - now fuse is not being burned, car...

I have bought a non running 12v 3.0 164 motor for my MX5 V6 project that needs some bits... Older 12v parts are hard to find in NZ... Questions.... will a later start and flywheel fit at all? What about later injectors?? They would be easier to find. The learning continues.... I have the...

I pressed the 159 starter button three weeks ago and felt it give. On examination it had two splits in it. I've been trying to find a solution rather than replace the black button and ordered a red vinyl sticker for the 159 and Giulia from Italy which turned out to be £16 worth of wrinkled...

My GT jtdm refuses to start. I had parked up on my parents drive and sat for a few minutes with the engine running. Then switched the engine off. My son was sat in the passenger seat and may well have pushed the seat back to get comfortable. Can't really remember. After a few minutes tried to...

My 1.4 mito will not start? All warning lights on dashboard engage but absolutely nothing else. Could it be starter motor? Anybody any ideas or advice?

Discovered the screech on startup is unrelated to the aux belt/ tensioner and is actually coming from the starter motor. How easy are they to replace (95bhp non turbo).

I need advice about removing the starter motor from the Gt Jtd 110kw? Is it easy to remove,and also is it easy to take it back to place?

Hi all just arrived in the 21st century! I own a gtv v6 from 2000 which I've had 3 years. Had numerous Alfas over the years including a Guillietta cloverleaf, 33 16valve, 155 silverstone and a sud sprint. Hope to pick up loads of valuable info from your excellent site.

Hi folks I'm new to the Alfa world and have just bought a 1970 1750 GTV and love it, but have a slight issue with the starter. Occassionally it just clicks when I try to start it. The fault is intermittent and I thought it was the battery but it isn't so I'd like to overhaul the starter. I'm...
