S2 SW 2.5 TD wont start.
Hi Guys,
Im new to the thema seen and got my feet wet in the thema sea with a 2.5 TD SW .
Been tidying things up and cleaning connections .
Before doing this , it would be a pig to start, after 6 or so turns of the key , it would fire up into life.
I hope that the starter cable is in poor condition and needs replacing, but just in case , is there anywhere between the ignition key and starter motor i should check.
I dont have a wiring diagram so all suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance

Re: S2 SW 2.5 TD wont start.
I guess it's the bendix or the relay from the starter motor. Do you hear something when you turn the key like 'tik or whieeeeuw' or is it complete silence?
Re: S2 SW 2.5 TD wont start.
If so, you can also hit (just hard enough...) the starter engine with a hamer, to help this bendix a little.
And when you're registrated, you can take a look at the service documents (naslagwerken) for all technical information. Hopefully you can translate the important parts

The switch behind the key could be faulty. That is easy to replace! The contacts can burn when you are used to start the engine with lights or other power consuming items on.

I don't know which terminals should be tested. But you can easily buy a new one (they fit in other Fiat or Lancia cars) and try it.

Hi all,
Good news , thema is alive, ended up having to replace the startermotor.
next on the list is the alternater, does anyone have a part number for it? also can someone give best battery option as new one just not powerful enough.
Thanks again
Mark

Re: S2 SW 2.5 TD wont start.
First you need to determine which engine type you have. Can you place a picture of your engine bay?

Re: S2 SW 2.5 TD wont start.
Think i will be changing the regulator in the alternator, having checked , it is definitely not charging.
Also this is a strange one that i struggling to understand, let alone work out.
I bought a battery with more power, and that would barely turn the car over, added a jump pack and barely helped at all.
Only thing, the glow plug light on the dash did not light up.
But, i dont know why, i thought id earth the engine directly to the battery, hey presto, glow plug lights up.
Then engine turns over easily and fires into life.
So ill be adding an extra earth to the engine.
Any ideas?
