Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / October 2004Starter Motor ??
306 1.9TD - Clicking sound is heard when I attempt to start engine. Is this the starter motor ?? Any suggestions to bring it back to life, or is it normally a case of replacement. Many thanks Sure the battery's not flat? That tends to happen when there's not enough power in the battery as though it's attempting to turn over, but hasn't got the energy to. Get a jump start kit, or jump leads from another car and try it. If it still doesn't start, I'd expect something a little bit more major wrong. But that's the first thing I'd try anyway.

Get a heavy ended screwdriver and give the starter motor a rattle with it before you attempt to start the motor. If this works then it would suggest a sticking solenoid - sadly it is integral to the starter motor and unless you are happy to repeat this `rap` every time it sticks then you will be forced into replacing it. It appears to be a common problem in 306's - especially the DT and TD's.
