Vemo Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CW Self-supporting V10-12-16330
The VEMO starter motor listed here is a 12V unit with clockwise rotation, 9 teeth, and a self-supporting starter type. It is supplied new and carries part number V10-12-16330, making those identifiers the key checks when confirming whether it matches the application you are working on.
This starter motor is described as a premium European brand item, sourced from leading manufacturers and built to OE-level performance expectations. The unit weight is 3.18kg, and it is listed as a dry unit, which gives you useful context when comparing it with the original starter on the vehicle.
For buyers replacing a worn starter, the main points to verify are the 12V electrical setup, clockwise rotation, 9-tooth drive, and the self-supporting design. Those details matter because starter motors are not interchangeable on appearance alone, even when the mounting and size look similar.

Application and Buying Notes
When checking this starter motor against the vehicle, the most important details are 12V, clockwise rotation, 9 teeth, and the self-supporting starter design. A starter with the wrong rotation direction or drive tooth count may not match the original unit, even if the vehicle family appears similar.
The part number V10-12-16330 should be treated as the primary reference for confirmation. If you are comparing an old unit, match the electrical rating, rotation, drive teeth, and mounting style against the original starter so you are not relying on appearance alone.
This unit is listed as new and weighs 3.18kg. That can help when comparing against an existing starter during diagnosis or replacement, especially if the old unit has been replaced before and the original label is no longer clear.
The listed fitment data includes Audi 80 and Volkswagen Passat applications, with year references shown for those models. Because the listing does not provide a full vehicle-by-vehicle catalogue here, buyers should confirm the exact application before fitting, particularly where similar models share starter assemblies but differ in rotation or tooth count.
The warranty period is one year. As with any electrical rotating part, the condition of the battery, charging system, cable connections, and engine earths should also be checked during replacement so the new starter is installed into a sound electrical system.
If you are unsure, compare the original starter’s tag, drive gear teeth, and rotation direction with the details above. That is the safest way to verify whether V10-12-16330 is the correct replacement for your vehicle or engine variant.
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 V10-12-16330 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.
