Starter Motor

[T.F.S.B.I.G.W.S.]

My 2006  (which i have owned since new) Aygo is on its 4th starter motor.  The RAC patrolman said it seemed that the SM. failed to disengage and bunt itself out. Whatever - i am considering my options. Has anyone experience this?

Have had this issue in an old Nissan Micra and it turned out to be a dodgy/sticky ignition key switch.

Don't suppose the Aygo has the stop start technology that stops the engine at traffic lights does it?

Early Aygo can suffer from a fault in the starter system, the ignition switch fails resulting in the starter failing to disengage burning out the starter and starter supply harness the fix is/was:

New modified Ignition key & barrel incl switch - part number 69057-0H012-84 

New starter if damaged - refer to Toyota parts catalogue for correct supersession

New wiring harness if any signs of damage to starter -  - refer to Toyota parts catalogue for correct supersession

Toyota did extend the warranty for this issue but a 2006 car is well beyond that cover.

Good call fordulike, Good find Devon; I never saw this mentioned anywhere at the time - Was there a TSB for it?

It's a shame the TSBs aren't easier to get at to diagnose known faults like this sooner!
