If you're experiencing problems with your Fiat Ducato's starter motor, you're not alone. As a UK based master technician with over 15 years of experience under my belt, I’ve dealt with my fair share of starter motor issues on various vehicles, including the Fiat Ducato from 2014 onwards.
Typically, issues with the starter motor manifest through several telltale signs. You might notice that your van hesitates or fails to start, produces a clicking sound when you turn the key, or shows general unreliability in engine startup. It's often accompanied by dimming lights or weak operation of other electrical components, suggesting the starter motor is not receiving adequate power.
Several factors could contribute to starter motor failure in your Fiat Ducato. It could range from simple to complex issues: a drained battery, poor connection between the motor and the battery, or even a fault within the motor itself, such as worn-out components or overheating.
Repairing or replacing a starter motor is a detailed process that involves several steps. Initially, the connection and state of the battery will be verified to rule out power supply issues. Following this, the starter motor itself will be inspected for physical damage or wear. If replacement is necessary, the old unit will be removed and replaced with a new one, ensuring that all electrical connections are secure and functional.
While repairing a starter motor is feasible, it might prompt you to consider whether maintaining an older vehicle is economical. Frequent repairs can be costly and time-consuming. Have you thought about selling your current van and perhaps upgrading to a newer model? At Vandervan, we offer a straightforward selling process. You can receive a 30-second online quote, and if you decide to proceed, we can arrange next-day collection from anywhere in the UK, followed by instant payment to the account of your choice. This service not only saves you time but also removes the hassle of negotiating with multiple buyers.

By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
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.
