Peugeot 307 2.0 Possible bad starter?

[Ermaganish1996]

Hello there every one, I’ve had this problem for a while now on my car that is when it has sat over night in the garage or whatever its really slow and sometimes impossible to start if its really really cold ( -20C ).

I have done a load check on the battery in school and it seemed to be alright, it didn’t say that the battery was bad or anything, just a bit lack in charge, nothing wrong with the battery.

So this slow/impossible start always happens when its cold or the car has sat for a while, I normally let it warm up to operating temperatures before driving away, the car starts up quickly when it’s partly warm or fully warmed up.

What I expect is a possible bad starter cause the car has been used as a learner car for my siblings and I (we’re 4 in total) so alot of stalling and restarting of the car, alot of city traffic and sometimes (my mom) accsidently starting the car while its already on ( making a horrible grinding noise)

Information about the car;
Peugeot 307 2.0 SW
Brought brand new 12-2004
Currently has 78 805 kilometers on it (48 978 miles)

Get a wiring diagram to make it easier to locate the problem. http://www.alldatadiy.com/ You want to see the big picture on how the starter get its power and ground. Some have relays and neutral switch that control the starter. If the battery is good. Next step is to check the battery connections. A lose battery cable can cause all kinds of wired problems. Do a voltage drop test checking the cables. If cables are good, remove the starter and have it bench tested at your parts store.

Great video on checking battery cables. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mKrx-fMi_8
