Introduction
It will first be necessary to raise the front axle of the vehicle, remove the left front wheel, and remove the battery.
-
-
Loosen the 3 exhaust flange clamps by removing the screws
-
Separate the 3 pieces of the exhaust line.
-
Remove the exhaust line mounting nuts at the intermediate flexible assembly.
-
Remove the exhaust line.
-
-
-
Remove the left front wheel arch retaining clips as shown in the illustration, as well as the clips attached to the front bumper.
-
Remove the left front wheel arch.
The left tire must be removed to remove the black mudguard and to access the bolt that must be opened to remove the battery holder. The key used is a 13 socket wrench. It is important to grease this external bolt when tightening it, once the repairs are complete, to be able to open it without difficulty during later maintenance. Remember that the battery holder is securely attached by 7 bolts in total: 6 open from the inside and only 1 from the outside.
-
-
-
Remove the battery holder mounting screws, hood side and wheel arch side.
-
Remove the battery holder.
-
-
-
Remove the ground strap from the gearbox. This will allow easier access to a starter motor mounting screw.
-
-
-
Access the starter motor fixing screw on the gearbox side through the battery housing. This screw is not directly visible and requires blind access using socket extensions (6mm BTR)
-
Remove the screw.
-
-
-
Accessing from underneath the vehicle, remove the last two starter mounting screws. Again, access is limited and a judicious stacking of extension cables is required.
-
Taking care to release the electrical harness fixing tab from its notch in the starter, remove the starter from its housing.
-
-
-
Using multi-grip pliers, remove the centering sleeve from its bore by compressing it slightly in the direction of its groove.
-
Clean the centering sleeve.
-
-
-
Apply suitable grease into the bore of the centering sleeve to facilitate the next disassembly (preferably copper, graphite or molybdenum disulfide grease).
-
Reassemble the centering sleeve on the new starter using the same method as for extraction.
-
-
-
Clean the starter bearing surface on the gearbox using a brush and cloth.
-
Proceed with reassembly of the new part, following the removal procedure in reverse. Tighten the starter fixing screws to a torque of 20N.m, with greasing of the threads recommended to avoid any seizure.
great tutorial thanks you made me win some money but not easy to do it's really inaccessible thanks peugeot

1I am limited in vehicle height

Attention!!! On citroen berlingo 1.6L hdi
Once disassembled from below the screw that you can have with an extension.
The starter should normally have fallen off but there is a metal tab with a spring which really bothered me and which broke.
I'm trying to find out what it's for.
If anyone can tell me more.
Thanks in advance
I used this tutorial to disassemble the starter of a 307 1.6l HDI from 2006.
For the 307 in addition to the disassembly indicated, I recommend removing the lower part of the windshield as well as the air filter and its complete housing, which facilitates access and visibility from above. In addition, on the starter of the 307, there is a harness that is fixed by a screw that must be removed from above with the help of a person who presents the starter in the correct position from below.
Hello, my vehicle is a Berlingo 1.9 d 70 hp from 2004. Is it the same procedure?
A very big thank you,
Great this one.
Personally, I did not remove the exhaust, just the 2 screws of the silent block support and by pushing on the side, the alternator came out.
Model: Citroën Berlingo 1.6 hdi 90hp standard euro4 of 2010 235000 kms.
Again, well done and thanks for the detailed step-by-step.
I have some mechanical knowledge, but this was my first time replacing a starter.
That was laborious, you have to be a contortionist to remove the starter bolts. Thanks for this tutorial, without it it was mission impossible, I almost gave up ten times. But perseverance paid off. Clear the exhaust line well and especially raise the car well to be comfortable to work, in short, happy, I saved a few hundred euros. And still spent a day..
Good morning,
Thank you for using the familiar form and to the various speakers.
I have a 607 2.2 hdi, despite this confinement I have a job that I had to stop because of the starter according to what some people say. Can you tell me where and how to access it on this model please? preferably from above because the car is on a steep slope and cannot start.
THANKS
ah I forgot it's on a peugeot expert 1.6 hdi 16v year 2008
Hello, I have a problem. I have a wire of the right diameter which was connected to the front right side member seen from the front and the other is disconnected. On the wire there is a + mark. I don't see where it goes. If one of you knows it, I'm interested ulysse84
Good morning,
Can you explain to me how you did it? Because I prefer to work from above rather than below the vehicle, it seems simpler to me.
Thank you in advance for your explanations.
Sincerely
Gerard
Without this tutorial I would still be trying to figure out how to remove this starter.
Many thanks to its author, but
- I will add the need to first remove the engine cover (3 front screws, 2 rear nuts, 2 screws on each side)
- The expected duration of the operation seems optimistic to me, I will double it (at least) given the difficulties inherent in this operation, aggravated by the discomfort of working under a vehicle on the ground.

I changed it in 20 minutes by going over it, removing the air filter to make room and without lifting the car of course. Very easy (Peugeot Partner 2.0 Hdi)
Hello could you explain to me the procedure to follow, mine is not HDI but the mechanic told me to do the same thing, disassemble the air pipe and remove the 2 bolts but do not touch the wire. So I did not understand too much, I do not know anything about it, I leave you my email stephane6603@outlook.fr thank you cordially
