You listen a starter motor noise on your Lancia Ypsilon every time you start your automobile. We can understand that this is not enjoyable and that you have inquiries. Experiencing such a noise is not always a good indication, but it may also be nothing serious. To help you resolve this issue, our team has decided to produce this content page to support you in this research. First, we will explain how the starter motor functions on your Lancia Ypsilon, and then what starter motor noises you can experience on your Lancia Ypsilon.
Functioning and various information
Function of a starter motor on Lancia Ypsilon
The starter motor is an electric motor whose only function is to start the engine unit of your vehicle. By a magnetic system and a “serial” technology, it will generate an enormous torque that will allow it to drive the pistons of the engine that are exposed to enormous compression and an oil that provides additional resistance being not very fluid when cold.
It is completed by the “solenoid”. It is an electromagnet that goes under a 12 volt electric impulse to push the fork (link component between the “solenoid” and the electric motor of the starter) and thus engage the starter drive pinion on the engine flywheel. Following this action, once in engagement, the starter motor of your Lancia Ypsilon is activated and turns the drive pinion on the flywheel to start the engine.
How to avoid starter motor noises on Lancia Ypsilon
- Do not try to start your engine for too long
- Do not use a starter motor on Lancia Ypsilon with a tired battery
Regardless if your engine does not start because of tired glow plugs, for example, or because the weather conditions is too cold. You should not try to start for more than a few seconds or you will burn your starter motor.
Although when you have a battery that is tired, you always want to start your vehicle, the energy it is capable of holding may not be sufficient to provide the power expected by the starter motor to start your engine unit. Repeated attempts will pre-use your starter motor and if you do not solve the origin of your failure to start repeatedly, your starter may be the future component you will have to swap.
I listen noises from the starter motor of my Lancia Ypsilon, what are the triggers?
I experience a loud noise from the starter of my Lancia Ypsilon
If you experience a starter motor noise on Lancia Ypsilon and you have the feeling that it is close to a loud noise, it is possible that it is the starter motor gears that are at the source of it. Indeed, often when the part has been dismantled for other repairs, its adjustment in relation to the engine flywheel may no longer be optimal, in which case the gears will be worn down with time and will not slip and will no longer properly activate the engine when starting. Examine the state of the drive pinion, if it is responsible of the starter motor noise on your Lancia Ypsilon change it.
If it is a noise in the front of your vehicle but it seems to you after reviewing not to come from your starter, consult this content page about front end noise on Lancia Ypsilon which may provide you other leads to resolve your noise issue.
I listen a clicking noise of the key running in my neiman but no noise at the starter motor of my Lancia Ypsilon
If you listen a clicking noise at the starter motor of your Lancia Ypsilon, there are two possible failures related to this symptom. If you have in addition to the noise the motor is not running, it may be the “solenoid” is not supplied with energy. One of the most common ways to relaunch it is to hit it with a metal bar to remove the dust that blocks it. If that is not enough, it may be the neiman who is involved. You could have a issue with unplugged cable check your electrical installation. If after examining this clicking noise on Lancia Ypsilon doesn’t come from your starter motor, check this article for more informations.
