Starter motor removal
Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2026 1:26 pm
Is it possible to remove the starter motor from the 2000 coupe without removing the exhaust manifolds first. Also I can't even see enough space to withdraw it out from underneath.
On the Spider 2000, it worked without having to remove the exhaust manifolds;
I replaced the original Fiat starter motor with a Wasp unit.
It was a real fiddly job, but it worked!
I assume there’s no significant difference in the amount of space around the starter area between the Spider and the Coupé.
