Five recommendations on how to prolong a starter’s service

The starter is an important element of the vehicle engine. The motor will not work if there are problems with the starter and it means the car will not start.

It should also be emphasized that this unit is not the cheapest part of the car engine. That is why the most relevant question for many drivers is: "What are effective ways to prolong starter’s service?"

Today experts have identified a number of simple rules that will significantly increase the service life of the starter.

One of the main reasons of the starter failure is careless operation.

Every driver should know that:

  • It is necessary to observe the interval between the car engine launch and the start. The time of such an interval should be no less than 30 seconds.
  • The most common mistake of the driver in winter is a long rotation of the starter. This action is often committed when the car does not start. Such behavior can lead the unit to complete failure of the auto car starter, it will burn. When the temperature is below zero and the car does not start, the starter can be turned on for 10 seconds. After an unsuccessful attempt to start, the same operation can be repeated only after a minute.
  • Keep the car battery constantly charged. In the case when the battery is not sufficiently charged, the starter will not be able to make the engine work. Further operation of the motor in this mode can disable the starter completely.
  • It is necessary to keep the space under the car hood dry. It means that when it is raining, it is preferable to drive carefully, avoiding the water flow. And when there is no opportunity to drive around, it is recommended to go through a puddle at low speed.
  • The starter must be inspected for wear every 40-50 thousand kilometers mileage.
  • It is advisable to monitor the condition of the brushes. When the wear process is not controlled, the life of the starter is significantly reduced.

When the driver has doubts about the work of the auto starter, you must contact the service center specialists. The service center specialists use specialized equipment for the starter test. A timely check will help identify problems and reduce the costs for the starter repair.
