Could Your Problem be the Starter Motor?

Audi Repair in Walnut Creek, CA

A Starter Motor?

Everybody knows that a traditionally powered vehicle has a motor. Still, perhaps you're wondering about the term "starter motor" that may have been used in reference to your Audi. Actually, all internal combustion engines use a starter motor. In order for your automobile to start, the engine needs air to mix with the fuel for combustion. The starter motor's role is to turn the engine over so that it can suck in that initial "breath" of air. Components of the start motor include armature, communicator, brushes, solenoid, plunger, lever fork, pinion, and field coils. Although starter motor problems are among the most common Audi complaints, you don't have to worry when you entrust your vehicle to the ASE-certified technicians at German Sport in Walnut Creek, California, for Audi repair. We'll have your prized European transportation starting reliably and back on the road soon.

Electrical Issues and the Starter Motor

Relying on the battery's power, the starter motor is an electrical component. It generally works well for a long time. However, it can begin to show wear over time or sustain damage to one of its parts. As with any part, regular service visits are the best way to protect it. This will allow us to check a number of critical electrical components, repairing or replacing them if needed. Suppose you hear a clicking sound, and your vehicle fails to crank. In that case, the starter motor is one of the suspected underlying causes. We'll gladly assist you by checking it and inspecting/eliminating other potential culprits, such as the battery, solenoid, and wiring.
