{"product_id":"ford-fiesta-starter-motor-10-tooth","title":"Ford Fiesta Starter Motor – 10-Tooth Automotive Starter, Black","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFord Fiesta Starter Motor with 10-Tooth Pinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Ford Fiesta starter motor has a 10-tooth pinion and comes in one finish, listed as black. The supplier names the Ford Fiesta as the compatible model and gives very little else, so we will be straight with you: this is a listing where you need to compare the part with your old one before ordering. Easy Life Markets sells it as a single starter, and the photos on this page show it from several angles to make that comparison easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe starter is the electric motor that turns the engine over when you twist the key or press the start button. A small gear on its nose, the pinion, slides out to meet the ring gear on the flywheel, spins the engine until it runs by itself and then retracts. The number of teeth on that pinion has to suit the flywheel exactly, which is why the tooth count is the first thing to check.

Many no-start complaints turn out to be a flat or failing battery, a loose terminal or a poor earth connection.

On most cars the starter is bolted to the gearbox bell housing, and access may be from above or below depending on the engine. Take a photo of the wiring, undo the terminal nut and the trigger connector, then remove the mounting bolts while holding the weight of the starter. Before fitting the new one, lay both on a bench and compare them carefully. Clean the mounting face, bolt the new starter up to the torque given in your workshop manual and reconnect the wiring exactly as it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are not confident with this kind of work, ask a qualified mechanic to fit it. They can also confirm the diagnosis before the old starter comes off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare After Fitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave the battery tested and replace it if it is weak, because a starter working on low voltage runs hot. Keep cranking attempts short, and leave a pause between them if the engine does not catch. Deal with any oil leak above the starter, since oil inside the motor shortens its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Starter Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits Fiesta owners and garages who can compare the old part directly, by tooth count and by shape, and buyers who have already confirmed the fitment with the VIN. It is less suitable if you want to order by model name alone, because the supplier has not narrowed the application down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Ford part?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is an unbranded aftermarket starter.

Use the 10-tooth count, the photos and your VIN to confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e The supplier does not state it.
