If you own a Fiat Talento from 2016 onwards, you might encounter starter motor issues at some point. As a UK-based master technician with extensive experience, I've seen my fair share of these problems. Here, I’ll walk you through the common symptoms, likely causes, and discuss the standard repair process.
Recognizing the early signs of starter motor failure can save you from a breakdown. Typical indicators include:
- A clicking sound when turning the ignition key. - The engine not turning over despite a functioning battery. - Intermittent issues with starting the van.These symptoms suggest that the starter motor may be wearing out and is likely due for a check-up or replacement.
Several factors can contribute to the malfunctioning of your Fiat Talento's starter motor:
- Electrical connections that become loose or corrode over time. - A faulty solenoid that disrupts the current flow to the starter motor. - Wear and tear from extensive use, which is common in commercial vehicles.Regular maintenance is crucial to diagnose and rectify these issues promptly.
Repairing or replacing a starter motor is intricate and usually involves:
- Diagnosing the issue with specialized tools to confirm the starter motor is the problem. - Removing the faulty starter motor, which can be labor-intensive due to its location. - Installing a new or refurbished starter motor. - Testing the vehicle’s starting system to ensure everything is working correctly.The complexity of this process often makes it a task best left to professionals.
While repairing a starter motor is feasible, sometimes the costs and downtime associated with frequent repairs can add up. Especially if your Fiat Talento is integral to your business operations, you might find these disruptions inconvenient.

In summary, while the starter motor in your Fiat Talento can usually be repaired, it’s essential to weigh the ongoing costs and downtime against the benefits of upgrading to a newer vehicle. Whatever your decision, ensuring your van is reliable and efficient is paramount.

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.
