OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CW Valeo Style VXS955

The OEX starter motor under part number VXS955 is a new 12V unit with 9 teeth, clockwise rotation and a 3 hole starter mount. It is listed as Valeo style and suits Valeo applications, so the key check before purchase is matching the part number and the mounting details to the vehicle or unit being replaced.

Physical dimensions matter with starters, and this unit has mount centres A of 113mm, mount centres B of 73mm, mount centres C of 73mm, a flange diameter of 82.5mm and an overall length of 216mm. The pinion diameter is 35mm, the pinion at rest is 19mm, and the mount hole diameter is 8.5mm.

This is a rotating electrical component in the OEX range, supplied as a new starter motor rather than a remanufactured unit. The listed weight is 3.88kg, and the only stated construction feature is a dynamically balanced armature, which is a useful detail when comparing against an original starter or a replacement with the same Valeo-style pattern.

Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this starter motor, start with the non-negotiables: VXS955, 12V, 9 teeth and clockwise rotation. Those details need to align with the existing starter or the vehicle’s required unit, because a starter with the wrong rotation or tooth count will not be an appropriate replacement even if it looks similar externally.

The mounting pattern is equally important here. This unit uses a 3 hole starter mount with mount centres A of 113mm, B of 73mm and C of 73mm, plus an 8.5mm mount hole diameter. The flange diameter is 82.5mm and the overall length is 216mm, so these dimensions should be checked carefully against the old starter before ordering.

The product is listed as Valeo style and suits Valeo unit make, which means the best buying approach is to confirm the OEM-style application rather than relying on general visual similarity. The pinion diameter is 35mm and the pinion at rest is 19mm, both of which can help when cross-checking against the removed unit or the vehicle’s original specification.

For buyers matching an existing replacement, the stated warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That warranty detail is useful, but it does not replace fitment checking. Starters need the correct mounting, electrical configuration and gear engagement characteristics to be the right part for the job.

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 VXS955 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.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Product Group 2 STARTER MOTORS, Part No. VXS955, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW Valeo Style, Flange Diameter 82.5mm, Mount Centres B 73mm, Mount Hole Diameter 8.5, Overall Length 216mm, Pinion Diameter 35mm.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW Valeo Style. Part number VXS955 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number VXS955, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include LDV T60, LDV T60 2017. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment using part number VXS955, the 12V specification, 9 tooth count, clockwise rotation and the 3 hole mount measurements before purchase. The known application data includes Valeo unit make and LDV T60 references, but final compatibility should still be checked against the vehicle or removed starter.
