Ford Transit Mk7 Starter Motor - 2.2 & 2.4 TDCi (2006-2014), LRS02243 / 1669558

Ford Transit Mk7 Starter Motor – 2.2 & 2.4 TDCi (2006-2014)

This is a new starter motor built for the Ford Transit Mk7, covering both the 2.2 and 2.4 TDCi diesel engines from the 2006-2014 production run. Cross-referenced to LRS02243 and 1669558, along with the full list of OE numbers below, this is a direct replacement for a starter that's cranking slowly, clicking without turning over, or has stopped engaging altogether.

Read the Fitment Notes Before You Order

The Transit Mk7 was built with several drivetrain configurations across its run, and the starter isn't the same across all of them, so it's worth reading this carefully rather than just matching the van model. On the 2.2 engine, this starter fits front-wheel-drive (FWD) models only — it does not fit rear-wheel-drive or 4-wheel-drive versions of the 2.2. On the 2.4 engine, it fits both FWD and RWD. Across either engine, it does not fit stop-start models, since those use a different starter designed for the extra engagement cycles that come with an engine that shuts off and restarts at every stop. If you're not sure which drivetrain or stop-start configuration your van has, checking your vehicle registration documents or the build plate under the bonnet against these notes will save you a return down the line.

OE / Cross-Reference Numbers

This starter is cross-referenced to the following manufacturer part numbers, in addition to LRS02243 and 1669558: 0001109205, 0001109329, 0001109305, 0001109387, 0001115092, 0001109324, 0001109388, 0001115093, 0001109325, 0001109391, 0986021810, 0001109328, and 0001109392. If your old starter has any of these numbers stamped on the housing, this is the correct replacement.

Why Transit Starters Wear Out

A van doing daily stop-and-go delivery or trade work puts a lot more cycles on a starter than the average passenger car sees over the same number of years, simply because it's started more often per day. Add in a diesel engine's higher compression, which asks more of the starter on every single crank, and it's a component that has a genuinely hard job on a working Transit. The usual warning signs are a slow, labored crank that gets worse as the starter heats up, a solenoid click with no crank at all, or the starter engaging but not disengaging cleanly once the engine catches, which you'll hear as a harsh grinding right after startup.

Package and Installation

This listing includes one complete starter motor, new (not remanufactured). Installation is a bolt-in swap using the factory mounting points and electrical connections — no wiring changes or adapters needed as long as the fitment notes above match your van. Access on a Transit Mk7 is reasonable from underneath or from the top of the engine bay depending on which side the starter sits on for your engine variant, and most independent garages or a confident home mechanic can have it swapped in well under an hour.

Before you bolt the new starter in, it's worth cleaning the battery terminals and checking that the main power cable and earth strap are in good shape. A starter can crank slowly for reasons that have nothing to do with the starter itself — corroded terminals or a tired earth connection will starve even a brand-new unit of the current it needs, and you don't want to chase a "faulty new part" that's actually a wiring issue. It's a five-minute check that can save a second trip back under the van.

New Versus Reconditioned

A lot of what's sold for this platform is reconditioned or refurbished, which can work fine, but you're relying on whoever rebuilt it having replaced the brushes, bushings, and solenoid contacts properly rather than just cleaning up a tired unit and selling it again. This listing is a new starter, not reconditioned, so you're not inheriting wear from whatever van the old core came out of. For a daily-use commercial van where a no-start means a lost day of work, that's usually worth the difference.

Fit Confidence and Support

Because this platform has several drivetrain and stop-start variations that all look similar from the outside, we'd rather help you confirm fitment up front than deal with a mismatched part later. Our request a part page is the quickest way to get your exact van's configuration checked against this listing, and our FAQ page covers the fitment and installation questions that come up most with starter motors like this one. Our warranty information page has the details on coverage if anything's wrong with the unit itself.

Shipping and Order Tracking

Once your order ships, our track your order page lets you follow it, and our shipping information page has our current processing times. We ship to Transit owners and independent garages worldwide, not just locally.
