Background:

Lancia Ypsilon 1.3 JTD (70HP) DFN [2004]
km: 168673
Years of service: 18.5

Issue: starter motor showing signs of weakness. Meaning, motor stops turning after (much)
less than 1 full crank rotation.

No error messages on dashboard. Power off and reset of ignition sequence start got me running twice
but it was obvious that this was a top priority issue and that the starter motor was EOL (end
of life). Note that my battery was less than 6 months old.

Original FIAT references:

STARTER MOTOR 46823548

The question now is: to repair the existing one or to buy a completely new one?

Given the price of the completely new one, I would recommend to buy a new spare part.

So, I bought the following from autodoc:

VALEO NEW ORIGINAL PART 438168 Anlasser 12V 1,3kW, Zähnez.: 9

Meaning: 12 Volts, 1.3 kW, 9 teeth, rotation as shown in images.

Since space is extremely limited in my configuration, the images at the end of the album give
an idea of the length of my extension and the drinking straw.

Extension: 16 cm
Straw: 15 cm

In other words, I had a total length of 16 cm to screw and unscrew the upper torx 45 bolt.
Anything longer than that was conflicting with the DFN/selespeed clutch position sensor.

So, after validating the total length of 16 cm with a 3/8 inch extension,
I changed my rachet size from 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch. The 1/4 inch rachet configuration allowed me to
have a total length of rachet + extension + torx bit holder + torx bit of 15 cm.
This eliminated the conflict with the clutch position sensor (Image5311, Image5312, Image5314, Image5535, Image5536)

Please kindly make sure you watch the 3 following videos showing the same procedure for 1.3 FPT
engine on different configurations, compared to mine.
