OEX Starter Motor 12V 13 Tooth CCW Denso Style DXS4072

The OEX Starter Motor DXS4072 is a new 12V starter motor in Denso style configuration, with 13 teeth, CCW rotation, and a 1.5kW power rating. It is listed as a 2 hole starter mount with 122mm mount centres, so the physical mounting pattern is a key checkpoint before ordering.

This unit is a rotating electrical part supplied under the OEX brand, with a flange diameter of 79mm, overall length of 225mm, and a 34mm pinion diameter. The pinion at rest measures 63mm, and the starter weighs 3.34kg, which gives a useful reference when comparing against the removed unit.

OEX states its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with supply from ISO certified factories. The starter is backed by a 3yr passenger and 1yr commercial warranty, which should be considered alongside the vehicle application and intended use.

The product is described as suitable for Denso unit make applications, but the correct match still depends on the part number, rotation, tooth count, mounting style, and dimensions matching the existing starter. For buyers comparing replacements, the DXS4072 part number is the most reliable starting point.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number DXS4072 with the number on the original starter if it is still visible. The 12V rating, 13 tooth pinion, CCW rotation, and Denso style configuration all need to align with the vehicle’s existing starter arrangement.

Mounting details matter on starter motors, especially where the unit uses a 2 hole mount and 122mm mount centres. The flange diameter of 79mm, overall length of 225mm, mount hole diameter of 13mm, and pinion at rest of 63mm are practical checks that can prevent a mismatch.

This starter is rated at 1.5kW and weighs 3.34kg, which gives you a useful comparison against the old unit when checking for a like-for-like replacement. If the removed starter differs in tooth count, rotation, or physical dimensions, it should be treated as a different application.

The fitment list includes several AUDI and VOLKSWAGEN applications, but vehicle badges alone are not enough to confirm compatibility. Use the part number, starter type, rotation, mount style, and dimensions together, especially where the vehicle may have had more than one starter option from factory.

Because this is a new starter motor, it is intended as a direct replacement where the application matches. Warranty cover is listed as 3yr passenger and 1yr commercial, but the correct installation and vehicle match still need to be confirmed before purchase.

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 DXS4072 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 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. DXS4072, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 13Th CCW Denso Style, Flange Diameter 79mm, Mount Hole Diameter 13, Overall Length 225mm, Pinion Diameter 34mm, Rotation CCW, Voltage 12.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 13Th CCW Denso Style. Part number DXS4072 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 DXS4072, 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 AUDI A1, AUDI A1 2010, AUDI A1 2011, AUDI A1 2012, VOLKSWAGEN CADDY, VOLKSWAGEN CADDY 2015. 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 compatibility by matching the DXS4072 part number, 12V specification, 13 tooth count, CCW rotation, Denso style fitment, and the mounting and dimension details against your original unit before ordering.
