Volvo PV/Duett Starter

Sluggish cold starts or a starter motor that just clicks are often caused by a worn solenoid, a bad gear, or the wrong voltage – and the choice is governed by the electrical system. The 544/445 came in different versions with both 6-volt and 12-volt electrical systems, and which system the car has can differ between model years – check which version your car has. This means a starter motor for the B4B/B16 is rarely interchangeable with a B18 unit, either electrically or in the gear teeth meshing with the flywheel.
