Description
Starter MITSUBISHI for 1.4 HDI and 1.6 HDI engines in Citroën and Peugeot vehicles.
This high-quality starter is designed as a direct-fit replacement for a range of Citroën and Peugeot diesel engines (1.4 HDi and 1.6 HDi). It restores reliable cranking and engine start performance for workshop professionals and DIY mechanics who frequently search by product or OE number. The unit is suitable for applications where original Mitsubishi starters or equivalent OE-referenced parts are required.
The starter engages the engine flywheel to crank the engine at start-up. It contains the drive pinion, solenoid, and electrical terminals needed to convert battery power into mechanical rotation. Correct selection by engine type and reference number ensures proper pinion engagement, clearance and electrical compatibility.

Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning work to avoid short circuits.
- Raise and safely support the vehicle when access from below is required. Use manufacturer-recommended supports.
- Locate and remove any heat shields or intake components obstructing access to the starter. Label electrical connectors before removal.
- Remove the electrical connections (solenoid terminal and main battery cable) and unscrew mounting bolts. Note bolt positions for reassembly.
- Install the new starter in reverse order. Tighten mounting bolts to the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification and ensure electrical connections are clean, tight and corrosion-free.
- After installation, reconnect the battery and perform a start test. If cranking is slow, verify battery state and charging-system voltage before further troubleshooting.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
- Wear On Internal Components: Brushes, commutator and bearings wear over time, reducing electrical contact and mechanical freedom.
- Solenoid Faults: Solenoid contacts can pit or fail, preventing proper pinion engagement or electrical continuity.
- Contamination And Oil Ingress: Oil leaks or heavy contamination can cause pinion binding or electrical shorts.
- Electrical Issues: Weak battery, corroded terminals or poor charging system performance increase starter load and accelerate failure.
- Mechanical Damage: Damaged ring gear teeth or seized pinion mechanisms from repeated grinding or misalignment.
Before replacement, confirm that the battery and charging system are healthy; many apparent starter failures are actually electrical-supply related. Use the OE or product numbers listed above when searching to ensure compatibility with the correct engine variant. This starter is intended for technicians and experienced DIYers familiar with safe vehicle lifting and electrical disconnection procedures.
