neilson Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi guys, my car an infiniti G20 is havin problems starting and i think i might have to get the battery checked. Last year i had a new starter installed and the symptoms of what is happening now are almost the same. Could the starter be already worn out and needs replacing?

samarj Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Well if you are saying that the symptoms are somewhat the same then yes it might be the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afzal Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 if your starter is not working properly then your car must not be starting at all? is that the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilson Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 yes it wouldn't start and i got the wirings, battery, terminals, leaks, everything checked recently. The starter keeps coming back to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samarj Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 why didn't you get the starter checked as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilson Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 well to be honest everything else was checked as a routine maintenance and at that time which was just a few days ago .. there were no such starting problems. how can i know myself what the problem might be? we can think about the fixing part later.

habibulah Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 The starter is responsible for turning the engine over or make the engine crank move. If you will be accessing it, you might need to remove a couple of things first. its located on the underside of the car. Look towards the transmission.

samarj Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Remember to disconnect the -ve battery terminal first ...then move to the starter electrical connector. Remove starter bolts and then you can just pull the starter out of the car... same moves to install a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilson Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 thanks guys ... i could not hold on to my seats to wait and see what problem comes up so i took the car to Arabian Autos today and they said the starter needed changing just like i envisioned .. now im thinking i could have saved a tripped and done it myself too lol. They'll be replacing it. We're just never happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 you seem to worry too much. be thankful that your car is fixed now ... have you got it back today itself? Doubt it... if not how long are they keeping it? its just soo hard to live without a car in the UAE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
