Valeo Starter Motor 12V 1.5KW 11 Tooth CW 3 Hole Part No. 06 05 438166
Valeo starter motor, 12V, 1.5kW, 11 tooth clockwise rotation, with a 3 hole starter mount. Part number 06 05 438166. This is a new unit supplied as each, and the listed warranty is one year.
For anyone replacing a starter motor, the key details are the voltage, rotation, tooth count, mounting style and part number. In this case the important identifiers are 12V, CW rotation, 11 teeth, 3 hole mount and Valeo application under part no. 06 05 438166.
The unit is described as a Valeo starter motor for the rotating electrical category, with a dry wet / dry clutch listing marked dry. The power rating is 1.5kW, which is the main electrical output figure given for this starter.
The only listed build note is that latest generations of starters are developed with high-quality components improving lifetime. That is a general product feature rather than a fitment promise, so the safest buying check remains matching the part number and physical specification details before order.

Application and Buying Notes
When comparing this starter to the original unit, confirm the part number 06 05 438166 first, then check the 12V system requirement, 11 tooth pinion count and CW rotation. Those details need to align with the vehicle application and the existing starter before the part is fitted.
The 3 hole starter mount is another important checkpoint. If the mounting pattern does not match, the starter will not install correctly even if the electrical rating of 1.5kW appears similar. The dry listing should also be checked against the vehicle application where that detail is relevant.
Because no vehicle fitment data has been supplied, it is best to order by confirmed part number and matched specifications rather than by appearance alone. Valeo units can share broad similarities across applications, but the practical checks are the mount type, tooth count, rotation direction and voltage.
If the existing starter has a label or casting number, compare it carefully with 06 05 438166. Also note whether the original unit is 12V and whether the pinion count is 11 teeth, because those are the most useful identifiers provided here for preventing a mismatch.
The listed one year warranty applies to the supplied new starter motor, but warranty cover does not replace the need to verify application. A starter that is electrically close but physically different can still be unsuitable, so it pays to confirm all visible specifications 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 06 05 438166 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.

Valeo Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW. Part number 06 05 438166 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 06 05 438166, 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.
Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility by matching part number 06 05 438166, 12V voltage, 1.5kW rating, 11 tooth count, CW rotation and 3 hole mount type against the vehicle and the removed unit before ordering.
