Peugeot Boxer Starter Motors

1. Disconnect both battery negative cables.
2. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
3. Remove the right front tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
4. Remove the right front fender wheelhouse inner panel (1).
5. Disconnect the turbocharger exhaust pipe.



6. Remove the battery positive cable from the starter motor.
7. Remove the solenoid wires.



8. Remove the starter motor bolts.
9. Remove the starter motor assembly.

Before getting to the removal process, make sure that you have enough time and the tools at hand, and then disconnect the battery.
You will need spanners sized at 10, 11, 12, and 14 millimeters, an eight-millimeter socket, eight milimeter Allen bolt, and small torque.
Next, get to the starter motor under the hood, beneath the diesel filter.
It can difficult to unmount it because there is barely enough room, that's why this process alone can take up to four hours.
First, unwind the starter bolts located under the hood, then do the bolts below. It goes without saying that you need your car to be raised.
Once the motor is loose, remove the wiring from the engine that may hinder the job.
Make a note of all parts and remember where they belong to help you easily reattach the motor once you have fixed the issue.

Follow the positive cable and it willlead you to the stater that you need to remove and install a new solenoid switch on.Bolts to the transmission housing but by following the largest positive wire i'm sure you will find it,probably need the car off the ground,but not always.

If the starter motor is sticking, it can draw a large current. If there is power down to the starter motor while its not starting then the starter is faulty. You can test this with a multimeter or just a test bulb connected to the smaller of the two wires on the starter, while cranking.Check you have a good earth from the battery to the engine. If the bulb lights up but no engine cranking then its a faulty starter.

In their 'How To' section they have articles on checking and replacing starter motors.

put your voltmeter on the little cable that goes to the starter and check the volts there will turning the key to the start position if you have power ...yes its the starter...if you dont then it could be the starter relay

There should be three bolts on the starter motor. The all face the same direction and should be in a pattern with one on the bottom, one up and to the side and one directly above the bottom one at the very top of the starter. You may have to move the exhaust pipe or certain lines to get enough room to get it out to test it. Let me know if you have questions with this. You are going to want to get it from underneath the car
