Mahle Starter Motor (MS1088)

The lifespan of a starter motor depends heavily on the conditions and climate they are working in. The cranking system of a vehicle gets put under extreme pressure during winter months, resulting in increased demand. Starter motors have to work harder due to falling temperatures overnight reducing the available cranking power from the battery. Additionally, the wet and salty road conditions corrode the parts and result in loose or broken connections. Although starter motors are designed to cope with the above conditions, any weaknesses are more apparent in winter.

Smaller, lighter and more efficient, starter motors from Mahle are built to meet or exceed OE specifications to ensure they can tolerate a large amount of stress from challenging weather conditions.
