Hyundai i10 Starter Repairs

[glitchfreak]

Hi all

Any ideas who I can contact in Centurion/Midrand/Pretoria that won't break the bank to have my starter repaired?

It got wet at some point during the wet months and I think it's corroded a bit.

Thanks

It does the typical 'click' when a battery is at fault.

What concerns me is that the one time the car was on an incline and I tried to push start it, it sounded as if the starter broke loose from being seized.

The car has been standing for a while.

What year model is your i10?

Just a stupid question have you tried another battery, not jump, different one?

@glitchfreak I have a good mechanic in Erasmia.

I will WhatsApp you his info.

Other than that, just Google around any good autolec should be able to recon the starter for, really a simple job to do, most of the time if it just clicks its the solenoid thats stuffed

Don't these cars have a 7 year warranty?

Only if service was kept up to date at the dealer yes

and I think that a battery is considered a consumable type thing if it is the battery, so first make sure it is not the battery. A battery place should have a device that places a load on the battery, and see how it is able to hold up. This is without changing the battery and takes less than 5 minutes, the place I go to in the cape does this for free.

I think battery centre does a battery test plus alternator and starter test for free.

Any ideas where the F the starter is located on an i10 2012? I've got a replacement unit but I cannot find where to put it in

It should be in front, almost thin you'll need to take the intake manifold of to get to it,

Thanks @Gurshick it seems that this might be the place. Feedback to follow

It sits in front, bolted to the gearbox, remember to remove battery + while working on the car

I actually found it behind the engine near the firewall. Thanks all!
