If you own a VW Crafter from 2017 onwards, you might occasionally encounter issues with its starter motor. As a master technician with over 15 years of experience, I've seen my fair share of starter motor troubles, especially in vehicles that endure heavy use. The starter motor is a critical component as it is responsible for cranking the engine to start the vehicle. When it fails, it can lead to significant downtime, which isn't ideal for any van owner.
Several signs indicate potential problems with the VW Crafter (2017 to present) Starter motor. You might notice that the engine doesn’t start at all, or there is a clicking noise when turning the key. Sometimes, the starter motor might operate slowly, struggling to turn the engine sufficiently to start it. The usual suspects behind these issues often include a faulty starter motor, a dying battery, or even loose wiring. Corrosion on electrical connections can also impede the efficiency of your starter motor.
Addressing problems with the VW Crafter (2017 to present) Starter motor generally involves a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause. This can range from inspecting and replacing the battery, tightening or cleaning connections, to replacing the starter motor itself. While some fixes might be straightforward, like cleaning corrosion off terminals, others could require more intensive labor and part replacement, which are both costly and time-consuming.

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.
