Is dust and moisture in Pakistani environments causing starter motor failure in Karvaan vans?

Pakistan’s dusty roads, rains, and lack of engine compartment sealing may expose the starter to dirt and water. Are these environmental factors leading to internal damage o r rusting?

Yes. Pakistan’s environment causes:

Dust ingress into the starter casing, damaging internal windings

Water seepage during rains o r car washes, leading to rust

No proper sealing o r splash guard under the engine bay

Installing a rubber shield o r cover over the starter can help protect it.
