Starter MITSUBISHI M000T22471 CL5 1.6 HDI 9663528880 91638116280 5802Z8

Description

MITSUBISHI starter for 1.4 HDI and 1.6 HDI engines in Citroen and Peugeot cars

Part description

Reliable MITSUBISHI starter designed for Citroën and Peugeot cars with 1.4 HDI and 1.6 HDI engines. The starter is the key to proper engine rotation at start-up – if you experience slow cranking, clicking without starting or irregular starting, the starter is one of the frequent causes.

The advantage is traceability by OEM numbers, which are most often compared when looking for used parts. When replacing, we recommend always based primarily on the markings and numbers on the original part.

Installation recommendations

Generally/Typically for starter replacement the exact location and access may vary by specific car model and make. Below is a practical procedure most often used by mechanics.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new and original starter: mounting, body shape, position and type of electrical connectors/terminals.
• Check that the product codes match (at least one of the OEM numbers matches the original part).
• Inspect threads and mating surfaces for damage or contamination.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of gola/ratchet and socket head, possibly extension
• Keys for disconnecting electrical leads
• Cleaning agent for contacts, brush/cloth for cleaning contact surfaces
• Work lighting, gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery (minus pole first).
2. Secure the vehicle against movement and create safe access to the installation site.
3. Document the wiring (photo) and label the wiring to avoid confusion.
4. Disconnect the electrical leads from the starter (power cable and control wire/connector depending on design).
5. Loosen the starter mounting screws and remove the starter.
6. Clean the mating surfaces and check that there is no dirt or damage at the mounting point.
7. Sit the starter in place and hand tighten the mounting screws to align the starter properly.
8. Tighten the starter fastening evenly (without specifying the torque – according to the manufacturer’s procedure).
9. Reconnect the electrical wires and check for tight fit and clean contact surfaces.
10. Check that the wiring does not rub anywhere, is not stretched and is routed as originally.
11. Connect the battery (first positive pole, then negative pole).

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • Make several starts in a row – the start must be smooth, without clicking and without significant fluctuations.
  • Check if the power cable or terminal connection is getting hot (a sign of bad contact).
  • Listen to the operation at start-up – unusual noises may indicate a bad seat or connection problem.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Battery not disconnected → risk of short circuit when handling the power cord; always disconnect the minus pole first.
  • Poorly tightened or oxidized contacts → slow turning/clicking; clean and tighten firmly.
  • Conversion of wires → malfunctioning start; before disassembly, take a picture and label it.
  • Dirty on the bearing surface → poor seating and grounding problems; clean everything before assembly.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of internal parts of the starter during frequent starting and higher acceleration.
  • Weak battery or long starting time – the starter is overloaded and heats up more.
  • Bad contacts and oxidation on the leads (higher transition resistance, voltage drop).
  • Moisture and dirt around electrical connections, possibly corrosion.
  • Incorrect installation (crooked seating, poorly routed cabling) leading to malfunctions or short circuits.
