Hdi 110 starter pinion teeth

Post by hdinewboy »

Just fitted a new clutch and solid flywheel kit to my 110,works a treat except starter does not like new ring gear, all was well before but now grates first try and when it does engage is very noisey .i know these cars use a bosch or valeo starter ,i have valeo anyone know if the number of teeth on pinions vary between them .

Hdi starter pinion

Post by hdinewboy »

:D Lived with the noisey starter for a week , all sources said there are no teeth variations so took it out today ,nothing serious visible just a little burring on the teeth so got a dremmel with a mini grinding bit and gave them all a good polish up,washed out the pinion with brake cleaner and put it back together ,pleased to say now sounds normal
