Vemo Starter Motor 12V 1.4KW 9 Tooth CW Part No. V20-12-14900

The VEMO starter motor listed here is a new 12V unit with a 1.4kW power rating, 9 teeth, and clockwise rotation. It is identified by part number V20-12-14900 and is supplied as an individual starter motor, with a listed weight of 3.194kg.

This unit uses a 3-hole starter mount type with 3 mounting bores and 0 thread bores. It is intended for dry clutch applications and sits within the rotating electrical product group. Those details matter when you are matching an existing starter and checking physical fit before ordering.

If you are replacing an original starter, the key identifiers to check are the 12V electrical rating, the 9-tooth drive, clockwise rotation, and the V20-12-14900 part number. Matching those points to the vehicle’s existing starter specification is the safest way to avoid ordering the wrong unit.

Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this starter to the one already in the vehicle, check the part number V20-12-14900 first, then confirm the 12V system, 1.4kW power rating, and 9-tooth CW configuration. These are the most useful identifiers when you are dealing with starter motor replacement work, because small differences in drive count or rotation direction can make a unit unsuitable even if it looks similar.

The mounting arrangement is also important. This starter uses a 3-hole mount with 3 mounting bores and no thread bores, so the physical fixing pattern needs to match the application. If the existing starter has a different bolt pattern, mount style, or casing layout, it should not be assumed compatible on appearance alone.

The dry clutch note is another point worth checking where the vehicle specification is available. While the starter motor is a rotating electrical part rather than a clutch component, the listed application detail still helps narrow selection. Matching the application details with the vehicle records, the removed part, or the supplier’s catalogue reference is the sensible way to confirm the correct unit.

Weight may also be useful during removal and comparison. At 3.194kg, this is a solid, conventional starter motor assembly rather than a small auxiliary component. If you are replacing a failed starter, compare the physical size, terminal arrangement, and mounting points against the old unit before fitting, especially where access is limited.

The stated one year warranty provides a straightforward coverage period for the part itself, but it does not replace proper fitment checking. A starter motor should only be ordered once voltage, tooth count, rotation, mount type, and part number have been checked against the vehicle or the removed component. That approach reduces the chance of comebacks and avoids unnecessary delays in the workshop.

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 V20-12-14900 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.

Vemo Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW. Part number V20-12-14900 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 V20-12-14900, 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 BMW 3, BMW 3 1980, BMW 3 1981, BMW 3 1982. 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: Please confirm compatibility using the part number V20-12-14900 and the listed application details, including 12V, 1.4kW, 9 teeth, clockwise rotation, and 3-hole mounting, before purchase.
