Purpose and compatibility

The presented starter motor is designed for petrol-powered engines used in popular Ford models such as the Focus, Kuga, C-Max, and S-Max. The OEM design guarantees compliance with the vehicle's factory electrical parameters and proper cooperation with the engine control system. Thanks to the retention of the original housing geometry and mounting points, installation in place of a worn-out component is predictable and does not require any modifications to the installation or interference with the electrical wiring.

Construction and operating parameters

The starter motor belongs to the group of components responsible for initiating the operation of the petrol engine, working in conjunction with the battery, ignition switch, and control system. The electromagnetic design used enables:

• efficient engagement with the flywheel ring gear during start-up,
• stable transfer of torque to the crankshaft,
• controlled disengagement of the drive after the engine has started. The original construction ensures appropriate current characteristics and torque matched to the specifics of the 1.5 petrol engine, which translates into a more reliable engine start, especially at lower ambient temperatures.

Condition, origin, and advantages of using OEM parts

The component comes from the Ford range and is a used part, which allows for a cost-effective purchase while maintaining factory technical specifications. Unlike many aftermarket replacements, the OEM starter motor is designed for specific models and engine configurations, which minimizes the risk of fitment issues or improper operation of the starting system. Using an original starter motor in place of a worn or damaged component allows you to:

• restore the correct starting dynamics of the petrol engine,
• reduce electrical system overloads during start-up,
• maintain compliance with the vehicle manufacturer's factory requirements.

Professional installation and operation

The starter motor from this series is intended for installation in the standard location provided by the vehicle manufacturer. Installation in a specialized service center is recommended, following procedures regarding disconnecting the power supply, checking the condition of power cables, and verifying the battery status. A correctly installed starter motor ensures stable operation of the starting system and reduces the risk of voltage drops when starting the engine.
