thesal Member 31 Member For: 13y 10m 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 24/02/17 07:21 AM Share Posted 24/02/17 07:21 AM Hi Guys, After 6 years and 40,000k's, I am pretty sure the starter motor has had it. Car wouldn't start...so gave the starter motor a tap with a spanner and It starts now. Not sure how long it will last, but thought original may have lasted longer. (Had car since new) Anyone know approx labour time and the price of a Starter Motor for a 2011 FG XR6 Turbo sedan? Hoping it it not a big job so my local guy can do it rather than my tuner who is an hours drive away. Many Thanks for any info.

Did a weekend run from Sydney - Putty Rd - Dungog - Pacific Palms (2 nights) - Maitland - then M1 home in December. Went like a dream. Since then, bugger all k's. I'll take it to my local mechanic up the road as I am sure he can handle it without too many worries. Cheers again.

But it definitely worth looking into how to free up the input shaft which engages. Might be able use contact cleaner on the solenoid contacts. Contact cleaner does actually exist.

Yeah mate it's called remove your starter motor, emery the sh*t of the throw out gear shaft and put it back in. Don't use a wet lube as it will just collect dust and seize up quicker. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92960-starter-motor-problem/#findComment-1632726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 10y 1m 1d Posted 24/02/17 11:51 AM Share Posted 24/02/17 11:51 AM Definitely good point. Build up of slight rust on tight tolerances can be enough to seize crap up. Especially if it takes an electric motor to activate it. Emery paper is the go for this for sure. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92960-starter-motor-problem/#findComment-1632727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
