Applications
Intended for PSA Group diesel applications (Citroën and Peugeot) with 2.0 and 2.2 HDi engines. Often searched for by product codes such as 5802CP, 5802C3, 5802M3, 5802CQ, 5802E2, 5802Q5 and OEM numbers 9656262780 / 9647157980. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY technicians who need a reliable replacement starter.
Replacement And Installation
Fitting is straightforward for trained mechanics: disconnect the negative battery terminal, remove any obstructing components (airbox, battery tray or engine cover as required), disconnect the starter electrical connectors and solenoid wiring, support the starter, then unbolt it from the bell housing. Install the replacement unit in the same orientation (note mounting angle R 56°), tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque settings and reconnect wiring. Verify starter engagement and battery condition after installation.
Common Faults And Maintenance
Starters typically fail due to wear of brushes and commutator, solenoid faults, damaged drive pinion or ring gear teeth, contaminated bearings or oil ingress, and poor electrical connections (corroded terminals or insufficient battery voltage). Regular checks of battery health, wiring integrity and secure earth connections reduce return visits. If the starter produces grinding, intermittent engagement or no crank, inspect the starter and flywheel teeth for damage.
