Mondeo Starter Motor
« on: 10 January 2021, 16:13:02 »
2008 Ford Mondeo TDCi Titanium X Hatch.

I've fitted a new starter motor, but it doesn't appear to be engaging with the flywheel and when I press the start button all I get is the whirring sound of the starter motor spinning.  :-\ 

Any ideas chaps?     Before it goes on Ebay 'spares or repairs'!  ::)

Loosen the bolts, push the bendix sideways as close to the ring gear as possible before retightening  ;)
did you bench test the starter before fitting ?
did you use any lube  :P

No I didn't bench test it.  I haven't got a bench!  :P

Lube... You mean did I grease the cog?  ???

To be honest after a long struggle, I was so pleased to get the bastard out that all I could think about was getting the thing back together ASAP!  :-X

Ah fk it...  :( 

If I'd done a step by step thread of this job it would have made Lord Opti feel much better about his piffling fuel pump job and I couldn't have that!  ;D

It's been a complete PITA, and when I finally got it all back together, but the result was Whirrrrr! the air was BLUE!!   ::) 

My neighbours were probably reminded of the Omega days!  ;D

Bendix? They're going back a bit  ;) Starters are all pre-engaged these days  :y
Solenoid engages .... which makes the circuit for the actual starter

It does still have the ring gear?

If that's come adrift, even slightly, it will never engage...

Opti's got about half a dozen 10 page threads about that complicated 10 minute fuel pump job so far  ::)
I've rebuilt a complete engine in less time  ;D

worth checking I guess
better done when it was apart in the first place  :D

but I've never come across a loose ring gear in the 30+ years of spannering
and i used to work on plant and farm equipment quite a lot when i was younger
