UP

 

it says that the clutch dust gets flicked into the starters not that thers a clutch in the starter motor, the clutch dust may jam the starter is what the guy is staiting.

 

sorry thats what i meant i know they have dual mass clutches

 

Dual Mass Flywheels.

.

 

lol i only know about old fords

 

yup dual mass flywheel needs replacing sadly m8 by the sounds of it

 

when i sell these at work its a new flywheel and clutch and slave and starter as the shit from the flywheel-clutch gets in there and stops it from working lol. 480 pounds for an focus tdci flywheel

 

had one replaced on my brothers tddi

is there a chance id get away with just cleaning the starter out

or will the flywheel need done?

im sure they are around Ł300

 

maybe not worth spending any money on it then,good engines go on abay for Ł500

What's the problem with the starter, sticking? not throwing the gear in? or ?

.

 

You'll still need a starter and clutch and flywheel.

.

 

car ran fine but was put off the road for 8 months and out of mot,went to start it with charge pack and brand new battery after that,and after the ignition light it just clicks,not like a relay click when battery flat its like clicks once every second or 2

and if i put in gear with the clutch out and try crank it,it doesnt move forward or back

 

Take the starter off, it's probably just the gear stuck on the starter shaft, with dust and rust,
Clean up the shaft and make sure the gear moves free.
You can test it while it's off.

You should be able to see onto the flywheel ring gear when the starter is out to see if the teeth are on all the way round

.

 

if you strip and clean the starter it will work for a while but there usualy noisey after it and it wont last
it does mean that the flywheel is on the road out im afraid
oh and there is a clutch in the starter as well by the way
trust me on this 1, my work is a specialist starter and alternator repairers
and we do several of these every day

 

i meant to break the car and sell the engine

 

thanks for replies il try giving it a claen out its done 110k

i sold one 2 weeks ago with 184k x-taxi and that one now you mention it did tend to turn over very slow but did start

 

get the solid flywheel conversion.

 

184 nothing tbh lol ive got a 02 reg taxi estate in the drive 290,000 miles its on its 3rd flywheel lol there pish 2nd starter also lol.

 

i do starters and alternators for a living yes the starter does fill up with crap metal dust from the dual mass flywheel and clutch dust it gets everywhere u have to completely strip it and rebuild it everyone is right the whole lot have seen better days

 

exactly, sod all the dual mass expensive crap, you can get a conversion which baicaly makes it a regular fit clutch & flywheel. its half the price of a dual mass fly wheel & just as good

 

glad to see somebody agrees lol

dual mass flywheels are a pain in the arse!

 

that they are mate, personaly i dont see the point in them. they dont seem to last any longer, cant be any lighter so dont understand why there there in the 1st place. if it were my money id be fitteng the conversion.

 

suppliers can charge more for a mass !!!---(none mention convertions!!!-lol)
there is not as much money to be made in an old skool set up 3 piece.
most new fords have them now and luk seem to be the best(mass that is),
a point to remember most garages wont warranty a clutch if its not mass.
the big problem with newish cars is parts costs,i work for an east midlands factors and you can spend hundreds on sensors,
bring back dizzys and luminitions and big f-off webbers lol
everything was more fun then and costs to run was managable-this is why a big interest in mk2's etc------------and classic cars-weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

It's there to smooth out pulses in the modern turbo'd diesel engine cycle, allegedly.
