If you're driving a Fiat Scudo from the years 2007 to 2016 and are experiencing difficulties with startup, it could very well be an issue with the starter motor. As a UK-based master technician with over a decade and a half of experience, I've seen my fair share of starter motor complications, and I'm here to shed some light on this common problem.
When the starter motor in your Fiat Scudo begins to fail, you might notice several telltale signs. First, there might be a clicking sound when turning the key in the ignition, or the engine may turn over slowly and with greater effort than usual before starting. In some cases, the engine may not start at all. The root causes of these symptoms can vary but often include a faulty ignition switch, a dying battery, defective electrical connections, or wear and tear of the starter motor itself due to age or usage.
Addressing a faulty starter motor typically involves a few key steps. Initially, a thorough diagnostic needs to be conducted to pinpoint the exact issue. This could involve testing the battery, inspecting the electrical connections, and checking the ignition system. If the starter motor is indeed the culprit, the repair process usually requires its removal and either refurbishment or replacement.
Have you wondered whether it might be easier to simply sell your Fiat Scudo and possibly upgrade to a newer model? Repairing or replacing a starter motor can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor, especially in models that are over a decade old like the Fiat Scudo (2007 to 2016). By choosing to sell your van, you can avoid the frustration and unforeseen expenses associated with aging vehicle repairs.
Vandervan offers a swift, efficient service that can remove the burden of dealing with such mechanical issues. With our simple 30-second online quote and next-day collection service, transitioning from your old van to a new vehicle has never been easier. Moreover, with an instant payment to the account of your choice, the process is hassle-free.
If you're pondering over "should I fix my van or just sell it?", it is worth considering the offerings at Vandervan. We provide a straightforward, trustworthy service that eliminates the complexities of selling your vehicle privately. Especially for a van like the Fiat Scudo, which might be nearing the end of its most efficient period, upgrading to a newer vehicle might be a more beneficial strategy in the long run. Why not let us help smooth the transition for you?

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.
