Based on industry averages you can expect to pay between $171.99 and $171.99 for a BMW 530IT starter.
The BMW 530i Touring (abbreviated as "IT" in some markets) starter is a component of the vehicle's engine that is responsible for turning over the engine when the driver turns the ignition key. The starter motor is an electric motor that engages with the flywheel of the engine to crank it and start the combustion process. If the starter fails, the engine will not start and will require repair or replacement.
Signs of a Faulty BMW 530IT Starter
Here are some common signs of a faulty BMW 530IT starter:
- Clicking noise when you turn the key: This is a sign that the starter solenoid is engaging, but the starter motor is not turning.
- Grinding noise: A grinding noise may indicate that the starter gear is not fully engaging with the flywheel and is slipping or grinding against it.
- Slow cranking: This occurs when the starter motor is not receiving enough power to spin the engine at the required speed.
- No crank or start: This occurs when the starter motor fails completely and does not turn the engine over at all.
- Dashboard lights dimming: A faulty starter can cause a voltage drop in the electrical system, resulting in the dashboard lights dimming or flickering when trying to start the car.
If you experience any of these signs, it's important to have your BMW 530IT starter checked by a qualified mechanic to prevent further damage or failure.
Steps for Testing Your BMW 530IT Starter
Here are the steps to test a BMW 530IT starter:
- Make sure the battery is fully charged and in good condition.
- Locate the starter on the engine and inspect it for any physical damage or wear.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent any accidental electrocution.
- Connect a voltmeter to the positive and negative terminals of the starter to measure the voltage.
- Turn the ignition key and check if the starter motor is engaging and spinning the engine.
- If the starter is not engaging, try tapping on it lightly with a hammer or similar tool while attempting to start the car again.
- If the starter is still not engaging or spinning, remove it from the engine and perform a bench test using a battery and jumper cables.
- Connect the positive cable from the battery to the positive terminal of the starter and the negative cable to the starter body.
- Listen for a clicking sound as you touch the negative cable to the negative terminal of the battery.
- If you hear a clicking sound, the starter solenoid is working correctly, but the motor may be worn or damaged.
- If there is no sound, use a multimeter to check the resistance across the starter terminals. If the resistance is outside the manufacturer's specifications, the starter is defective and needs to be replaced.
It is important to note that testing a starter can be dangerous due to the high voltage and current involved. If you are not comfortable performing these steps, it is best to seek the assistance of a professional technician.
