Starter motor issue

Question

I wondered if anyone could help me with this one. I have today fitted a brand new starter motor to my Peugeot 407 2.0 hdi. The starter is brand new but after fitting I am still getting the old starter spinning but not engaging issue. Does anyone know what this could be? It is driving me nuts and can’t seem to sort this one. Have tested that the starter is functioning ok but once fitted it just spins and does not engage. Have i done something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

My guess based on your comment is that the teeth on the flywheel have been damaged, so fitting a new starter will exhibit the same fault.  You need to check the teeth on the flywheel by looking/feeling them through the starter motor aperture.

You could try rotating the engine a little to see if the starter then meshes with good teeth on the flywheel.  If the engine then starts then you can be pretty sure the teeth are damaged in sole locations.
