Application and Buying Notes

The main buying checkpoints on this Valeo starter are the 12V electrical setup, 1.1kW power rating, 10 tooth pinion and CCW rotation. Those details matter because a starter can look similar in photos while still having different rotation, tooth count or mounting dimensions.

Mounting measurements are also important on this unit. The starter uses a 2 hole mount, 12mm mount hole diameter, 111mm mount centre to centre and a 76mm flange diameter, so compare those dimensions with the original starter before ordering.

The listed fitment references cover a range of Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen applications, but the safest way to buy is to confirm the part number 438174 first, then check the vehicle application and physical dimensions. That is especially useful where there are multiple starter variants across the same model range.

If you are replacing a failed starter, note the pinion diameter of 28mm, pinion at rest measurement of 62mm and the L 42 position / degree listing. These are practical identifiers for workshop cross-checking and can help avoid delays from returning the wrong unit.

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 438174 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.

For part number 438174, 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 AUDI A3, AUDI A3 2003, AUDI A3 2004, AUDI A3 2005, SKODA OCTAVIA, SKODA OCTAVIA 2004. 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: Confirm compatibility by matching part number 438174, 12V electrical specification, CCW rotation, 10 tooth pinion and the mounting measurements against the vehicle application before ordering.
