Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the part number V42-12-16530 against the existing starter or the vehicle catalogue entry. The critical matching points here are 12V, 1.1kW, 9 teeth, clockwise rotation, and a 3 hole starter mount with 3 mounting bores.

The fitment data supplied covers several Citroen, Mercedes-Benz, and Peugeot applications, but starter motors can differ by engine variant, transmission, and production date. The safest check is to compare the physical mounting pattern, the tooth count, and the rotation direction with the removed unit.

This starter is listed as new and dry clutch type, so it is intended to replace a compatible dry application rather than a wet clutch setup. If the existing unit shows a different mount style, tooth count, or rotation, do not rely on the vehicle make alone.

The weight is listed at 2.889kg, which can help when comparing a removed unit or confirming you have the correct style for service replacement. If you are matching by VIN or registration, verify the catalogue result still resolves to V42-12-16530 before purchase.

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 V42-12-16530 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.
