As a seasoned master tech mechanic with over a decade and a half of hands-on experience in the automotive industry, I've encountered numerous instances where the starter motor in a Citroen Relay, particularly models from 2006 to 2014, has posed problems for vehicle owners.
Typically, a faulty starter motor in your Citroen Relay will present a few noticeable symptoms. You might experience difficulties when starting the engine - this often manifests as a clicking sound when turning the key, or worse, no response at all. In some cases, the starter might operate intermittently, functioning normally at times and failing without warning at others. These signs usually indicate a failing starter motor, which can be due to various underlying causes.
The root of starter motor problems can vary. Often, it could be due to a weak battery or poor connections that are failing to supply the necessary power. Corrosion on the battery terminals or starter connections can also inhibit the electrical flow. More mechanically, the starter motor itself might be worn out. The solenoid, the component responsible for triggering the motor, could be malfunctioning due to internal wear or damage. Regular wear and tear over the years is also a significant factor to consider.
Addressing a faulty starter in a Citroen Relay involves a few systematic steps. Initially, a thorough examination of the battery and its connections is crucial to rule out simple electrical faults. Following that, diagnostic tests are carried out to verify the integrity of the starter motor and solenoid. Replacement involves removing the old starter, which can be quite labor-intense as accessibility is restricted in some models. Fitting the new starter, then testing to ensure the engine ignites smoothly, wraps up the repair.
Why might selling your Citroen Relay be a more practical decision than repairing it? For starters, the cost implications of repeated repairs can be substantial. A failing starter motor could also be a sign of broader electrical or mechanical issues that might surface later. By selling your van to Vandervan, you could bypass these uncertainties and potential future expenses. Vandervan offers a straightforward, swift process where you can get a quote in just 30 seconds and even arrange for next-day collection from anywhere in the UK.
Is it time to upgrade to a newer, more reliable vehicle rather than channel funds into fixing an older model?

Exploring options with Vandervan might just be your best move, ensuring peace of mind with a reliable new van and instant payment options.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
