Starter Citroën Peugeot 1.8 2.0 16V M000T82081 9656317680 5802V7 5802W1

Description

Starter MITSUBISHI M000T82081 for engines 1.8 16V, 2.0 16V and 2.2 16V for CITROEN PEUGEOT cars

Part description

This starter is designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles and is primarily searched for by part numbers M000T82081 and PSA OEM codes. It is a key electrical component for reliable engine starting – if the original starter spins slowly, just clicks, or starts irregularly, replacement is often the fastest and surest solution.

When choosing, we recommend comparing the markings on your original starter and matching the connectors/fittings so that the part fits your specific design without any problems.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for starter replacement, the exact procedure varies according to the specific model and design of the car (access from above/below, routing of cables, possible disassembly of surrounding parts). Below is a safe and practical procedure for this type of part.

1) Before assembly

• Check the label match: M000T82081 and possibly PSA codes (e.g. 9656317680, 5802V7, 5802W1, 5802CW).
• Compare with the old piece: mounting (number/spacing of holes), position and type of electrical outlets/connectors, orientation of the starter body.
• Check the wiring to the starter (power cable, control wire) – a common problem is an oxidized eye/loose connection, which can mimic a starting failure.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of ratchets and extensions, possibly extensions/joints
• Open/Socket Wrenches
• Flat brush or fine sandpaper for cleaning contacts and contact surfaces
• Electrical contact cleaner (recommended)
• Torque wrench (if available; tightening values according to vehicle manufacturer)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery (minus pole first).
2. Secure the vehicle against movement; if access from below is required, raise it safely on a jack/stands.
3. If necessary, dismantle the parts preventing access to the starter (covers, intake, etc. – depending on the specific design).
4. Take a picture of the wiring on the starter to make sure it is properly rewired.
5. Disconnect the electrical leads from the starter (main power and control); gently release the connectors and eyes.
6. Loosen and remove the starter mounting bolts.
7. Remove the original starter and compare it with the new one (shape, attachment, terminals, orientation).
8. Clean the mating surfaces and check the condition of the threads/screws.
9. Sit the starter into place and screw in the mounting screws by hand (to avoid thread stripping).
10. Tighten the starter fastening (tightening torques according to the vehicle manufacturer).
11. Reconnect the wiring: first seat the eyelets/connectors correctly, tighten, if necessary treat the contacts.
12. Reinstall the removed parts/covers and check that the cables are not under tension or touching hot or moving parts.
13. Connect the battery (first positive, then negative).
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Start and observe whether the starter spins smoothly and without unusual noises.
  • Check if the connections on the power cord are getting hot (transient resistance sign).
  • After a short ride, visually check the fastening and routing of the wiring again.

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

  • Battery not disconnected → risk of short circuit; always disconnect before working.
  • Switched/poorly tightened cables → clicking, weak rotation; take pictures of the cabling and clean the connections.
  • Poor seating of the starter on the landing surface → noise, irregular engagement; align and clean the seat before tightening.
  • Ignoring the wiring status → the problem may return; check eyes, oxidation and insulation damage.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of carbons and bearings due to long-term use and frequent starts.
  • Transient resistance at the contacts (oxidation, permitted connections) – the starter is overloaded and overheats.
  • Weak battery or charging failure – long start-up and higher current load shortens service life.
  • Intrusion of dirt/moisture and subsequent corrosion of electrical parts.
  • Thermal stress in the engine compartment, which gradually degrades the insulation and internal components.
