Hi Has anyone had a Flywheel replaced on a Alphard 2003, having real problems getting a garage to undertake this work,

I cant even find apart no. to see if replacement can be sourced.

Can anyone offer any suggestions. cheers

Hi I notice the model of my vehicle is listed as a Hybrid, it is a regular petrol vehicle.

Hello Graham pm your reg no. I will get the part no. For you also what makes you think you need a flywheel

Hi Picasso, HC53HBH, Had RAC out due to start problem, he had to turn engine manually and it started straight away. It wouldn't start again till he repeated the procedure. Thanks for your interest.

He had to turn the engine manually ?

What do you mean ?

Jump started it, boosted it ?

It’s starter motor problem not flywheel bear with me a couple hours will get you part no. And link where to buy it from starter motor will cost you about £200

Thank you ,starting to think I might have to scrap my lovely vehicle after just finishing my camper conversion.

hard to believe rac told you it was flywheel problem starter motor engages the flywheel starter motors stick so when he freed the the engine manually he un stuck the starter motor here is the oe no. for the starter motor 2810028051 here is a ebay link less than £90 for a new starter motor https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142543994198?_skw=2810028051&itmmeta=01K9Y8YSWSA3F3RR1ZYNGGNAXB&hash=item213048bd56:g:b1QAAOSwrAtjuAcx&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cJMSmCYzng1IWECYG0qmIKBEDMJpF%2BjoKdF8CWDWLu%2BJyg357U2QGGQibLkyRW0IONl2xzmU7Gs3dg1w15Q7FeeBozaSvjlPZqxBedOzt987OR%2FIBenRjPQSzEwUQ72Agw7rye8nxnbupAsM8kcDYCxy7LHF3A1daLvDM1g8g2XNFewMRCUgLW8QilaP544zqAHYn%2FBObVeu4SGDEk%2ByZirKhpI99kkTF5%2B4FzoBGShg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABlBMUMKe-8jPZg if your confident enough be able to change it your self .

Hi Lee, I really appreciate your help, I am going to remove old starter and see if I can inspect flywheel condition while someone turns the engine manually, can you tell me if I can do any damage due to mis alignment?. I will then order new motor . Its really good to have the help and advise from being part of this forum, Thanks again

i dont think any damage will be done to the flywheel i have advised many members on here with starter motor problems and all solved by changing the starter motor your worrying because rac gave you wrong information for the cost of a new starter motor is going to be a lot cheaper than changing the fly wheel

here is a picture atatched of the flywheel and a link to buy it from if you want to go down that route i personaly change the starter motor first for the cost of £90 https://partsouq.com/en/shop/shoppingCart/view

never heard of an alphard flywheel going. usually happens on manual cars and especially manual diesel cars from poor driving habits and quick shifting to save fuel.
