300bhp/ton Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Anyone know if the starter motor for a 300TDI is the same as one on a 200TDI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 yes - the small high speed starter motor ERR5009 will fit everything from a NA to a 300Tdi, replaces the old "big" starter on older 2.5NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Will even fit 21/4 diesel as well I thought it might but wasn't 100% sure Ahhh the good old days of parts being interchangeable. What is the probability of the same starter being used on the 2.2 Td4, the TDV6 and the TDFraud or whatever they decide to call it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I was under the impression that even though they fit, a newer (TDi) starter won't last long on a 2.25 as it is designed for short duty applications rather than turning over a reluctant starter for 30 seconds until it fires....

Mark Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Blimey, how do you get your 2.25 to start in 30 secs???? I wish mine would... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think the old one is superceded to the new one so you can't get the "lump of pig iron" starter any more - not from LR anyway, not sure about aftermarket bits. If it is taking 30 sec to fire then IMHO it needs something else looking at besides the starter motor my father's old series 3 2.25, given a bit of heat first, only takes about 5 sec cranking to fire up if it has a decent battery in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it all comes down to what you feed it with I'm pretty sure twin optimas and 70mm2 cable would scare even the most relutant 21/4 in to life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Depends if you are running it on animal fats that are solid at room temperature. Took days to get it started after I forgot to flush it out with diesel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
