Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MS298 with the starter fitted to the vehicle, as that is the most reliable starting point. The other key checks are the 12V electrical system, clockwise rotation, 11-tooth pinion, and the 2-hole mount pattern with 105mm mount centres A.

Physical dimensions matter on starters. Confirm the 83mm flange diameter, 10mm mount hole diameter, 36mm pinion diameter, and 24mm pinion at rest against the original unit or the application details you already have. The listed flywheel depth is 24.0, so that should also be matched carefully where clearance is critical.

This starter is a reduction gear type and is listed as suitable for dry clutch use. If the vehicle uses a different starter configuration, different rotation, or a different tooth count, do not assume interchangeability. Matching the measured dimensions and the original part number remains the safest approach.

The listed EMC compliance and resistance to salt, fog, humidity, water, dust, mud, vibration, extreme temperatures, and aggressive liquids are useful characteristics for harsh operating conditions, but they do not replace fitment confirmation. Always verify the application before purchase, especially where space, mount style, or flywheel engagement depth is tight.

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 MS298 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.

Mahle Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW. Part number MS298 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 MS298, 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.

Where no verified application list is available, the part number, mounting details, connector style, and published specifications should be used as the primary selection criteria.

In the absence of a verified fitment list, the safest approach is to compare the removed unit directly with the listed product details. That includes checking the housing style, pulley layout, regulator arrangement, and any visible identification numbers before supply is approved.

The listed warranty is One Year. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility using part number MS298, the 12V CW specification, the 11-tooth pinion, and the 2-hole mount details before purchase. Where fitment is not already verified, match the original starter’s dimensions and application information exactly.
