'02 WJ Grand CRD - Startermotor glitch ?
« on: April 20, 2009, 10:35:46 PM »

Hi all,

Happened a couple of times now, turn the key and the starter motor does not engage but makes this horrible screeching sound.  :shock:

Always goes on the second try though. Truck's done 95.000 miles.

Might not know the right terminology but the bendix makes the litttle cog pop out and engage the thingemyjig that makes the engine go round.....right ??

The fact that this whatchemecallit all of a sudden does not do this once in a while....means that :

a) startermotor fooked...or at least on the way out ?
b) carbon bristles worn...need replacing ?
c) just cleaning out ?
d) all of the above ?

Look forward to your advice.

Cheers.

It sounds like the bendix gear is not being thrown forward to engage with the flywheel when the starter is run. It would indicate the gear is just sticking on the shaft. A clean and a very light duty oiling would most probably solve the problem.

I’ve not had this happen on my Jeep, so I’m sure someone else might have a different opinion.
