The Ford Transit Connect is a robust and reliable small van, popular among tradespeople and small businesses. However, like any vehicle, it can experience issues with its starter motor, especially in models from 2002 to 2013. As a master tech mechanic with over a decade of experience, I've seen my fair share of these problems and understand the frustration they can cause.
A starter motor is crucial for igniting the engine process in your Ford Transit Connect. When it fails or starts to wear out, you might notice several symptoms: the engine might not start at all, or you might hear a clicking sound with no engine engagement. Sometimes the starter motor might operate intermittently, starting the van sometimes and failing at other times, which can be particularly perplexing.
The starter motor issues in the Ford Transit Connect could be due to several factors. Common causes include a faulty solenoid, a worn-out starter motor gear, electrical connections that have become corroded or loose, or a dying battery that isn't providing sufficient power. Addressing these problems usually begins with a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact problem. This might involve testing the battery, inspecting electrical connections, and evaluating the starter motor itself.
Repairs could range from cleaning connections and replacing the battery to installing a new starter motor. However, depending on the van's age and condition, these repairs can sometimes be costly and time-consuming.
While repairing your Ford Transit Connect's starter motor is often possible, it's worth considering the age of your vehicle and the potential for other upcoming repairs. Vans that have been on the road since 2002 to 2013 have likely accumulated significant mileage, making other mechanical failures more probable as time goes on. This is where Vandervan can step in to simplify your decision-making process. Why not sell your van with ease and consider upgrading to a newer model?

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.
