Volvo 240/260 Starter

Sluggish cranking, a single click, or a Starter motor that grinds without turning the engine over are classic symptoms when the solenoid switch or the gear is worn. On the 240/260, both the engine choice and the make determine which unit fits: the gas cars got Startmotors from Bosch or Hitachi, while the diesel variants need heavier-duty units in their own designs. It is important to distinguish 4-cylinder from 6-cylinder, since the flywheel ring gear and mounting differ.
