Your VW Passat starter at its core is just a strong electric motor. The gear meshes with a bigger gear that is attached to the engine when it is engaged. In order for the piston to pull in a fuel/air combination and ignite it in order to start the engine, the starter rotates the engine. An instrument known as an overrunning clutch automatically separates the starter gear from the engine gear when the engine begins to spin more quickly than the starter.
There are steps you can take to prolong the lifespan of your starter. Starter motors are designed to last the lifespan of the vehicle, however, it is not uncommon for issues to arise. Here are a few steps to help lengthen your starter's lifespan.
- Keep the mounting bolts properly tightened. The starter motor tends to loosen over time. When that happens, your starter may begin to function at a lower efficiency and you may even hear grinding noises.
- Keep the wire connections clean. Corrosion on the connectors cause the starter motor's resistance to increase. This causes the motor to require a heavier current and wear out more quickly.
- Keep the battery terminals clean. Doing so ensures the starter is getting sufficient power at all times.
