Application and Buying Notes
Before ordering, match the part number BXS0183 and compare the starter style, because this unit is described as a 12V, clockwise rotating Bosch style starter with a 9 tooth pinion. The mounting pattern is also specific: 2 hole mount, 100mm mount centres A, and M8x1.25 mount holes.
Physical dimensions matter with starters, so check the 70mm flange diameter, 165mm overall length, 25.8mm pinion diameter, and 15mm pinion at rest against the unit being replaced. Those measurements help confirm that the replacement will physically align with the gearbox bellhousing and starter opening on the application.
This starter is listed for dry clutch use and carries an OEM number of 63191007. If you are comparing multiple units, use the voltage, rotation, tooth count, mount type, and OEM reference together rather than relying on appearance alone, as Bosch style starters can vary in mounting and drive details even when the housings look similar.
Warranty terms are 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. If the vehicle is used commercially, make sure the warranty basis matches the intended use before purchase, and keep the invoice and part number details with the job record for identification if needed later.
Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.
For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number BXS0183 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
