Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the physical measurements against the unit being removed from the vehicle. This starter motor is a 12V, 12 tooth, clockwise unit with a 2 hole mount, 101mm mount centres, a 70mm flange diameter, and an overall length of 198mm. Those details need to match closely for a proper replacement.

Part number matching is the safest way to confirm the correct starter. VXS956 is the listed part number here, and the unit is specified for Valeo applications. If your original starter differs in tooth count, rotation, flange size, mount hole size, or length, it should be checked carefully before purchase.

The warranty on this item is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That warranty period does not replace fitment checking, so the important step is still to verify the application details, the mounting pattern, and the electrical specification before fitting.

Because starter motors can vary within the same vehicle family, it is wise to compare the original unit’s markings, mounting layout, and key dimensions with the listed 12V, 1.7kW, CW starter details. A close match in part number and measurements is the best practical guide when confirming the correct replacement.

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 VXS956 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.

For part number VXS956, 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.
