Eurovans (second gen) Fiat Ulysse/ Peugeot 807/ Citroen C8

All the above vehicles suffer from premature starter motor failure caused due to insufficient rated fuses. The fuses must be replaced with a higher rated fuse to avoid further failure. The lower rated fuse can cause excessive cranking of the starter motor resulting in it burning out.

The Citroen C8 starter motor is also affected due to a chafed wiring harness resulting in a short circuit and the failure of a fuse in the engine bay. This failure also results in the starter motor burning out.
