Mahle Starter Motor 12V 8 Tooth CW MS17

The Mahle MS17 starter motor is a new 12V unit with 8 teeth and clockwise rotation, supplied as a starter motor for vehicle electrical starting systems. It is listed with a 0.8kW power rating, a 3-hole starter mount type, and an overall length of 166mm, so it is important to compare the physical dimensions and mounting pattern with the vehicle application before ordering.

Key dimensional details include mount centres of 106mm, 73mm and 65mm, a 66mm flange diameter, 3 mounting bores, and an M10x1.5 mount hole diameter. The pinion diameter is 23.5mm, the pinion at rest is -1mm, and the flywheel depth is noted as 2.0, which are all useful checks when matching the starter to the correct engine setup.

This starter is identified as Mahle part number MS17 and OEM number 11139449. It is a new replacement unit and carries a one-year warranty. The listed application data includes Renault fitment references, but the correct match still needs to be confirmed against the vehicle’s part number, starter type, and mounting details rather than relying on make alone.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the Mahle MS17 part number and OEM number 11139449 with the number on the original starter or the vehicle parts listing. The physical details matter as much as the brand name: this unit is 12V, clockwise rotation, 8 tooth, with a 0.8kW rating and a 3-hole mount, so it needs to match the vehicle’s original specification.

Check the mounting measurements carefully. The starter is listed with mount centres of 106mm, 73mm and 65mm, a 66mm flange diameter, and an M10x1.5 mount hole diameter. If those dimensions do not line up with the original unit, the starter may not seat or align correctly even if the vehicle make appears similar.

Also confirm the pinion and flywheel details. The pinion diameter is 23.5mm, the pinion at rest is -1mm, and the flywheel depth is 2.0. These values are important for engagement and spacing, particularly where there are multiple starter variants across the same model range.

The listed Renault references are a guide only and should be treated as a starting point for verification, not as a guarantee. Vehicle changes across year ranges and engine variants can affect starter selection, so matching the part number, mount pattern and rotation is the safest way to avoid an incorrect order.

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 MS17 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 8Th CW. Part number MS17 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 MS17, 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 RENAULT CLIO, RENAULT CLIO 2001, RENAULT CLIO 2002, RENAULT CLIO 2003. 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 fitment using the Mahle MS17 part number, OEM number 11139449, and the starter’s measured mounting and pinion details before purchase. Vehicle make alone is not enough to verify compatibility.
