Application and Buying Notes

Before fitting, compare the vehicle application against the part number 1986S00786, the 12V rating, and the 9th CCW specification. Starter motors can look similar across different models, but the rotation direction and mounting layout matter just as much as the physical size and casing style.

This starter motor is listed against Audi A3, Seat Cordoba, Seat Ibiza, and several Volkswagen applications, including Beetle, Bora, Golf, New Beetle, Passat, Transporter, Transporter / Caravelle, and Vento. Those references are useful as a guide, but final confirmation should still be made using the exact model year, engine application, and the part number on the old unit where possible.

For workshop and retail buyers, the practical checks are straightforward: confirm the battery system is 12V, confirm the starter is 9th CCW, confirm the unit has 2 mounting bores, and compare the replacement to the original starter already fitted to the vehicle. That reduces the risk of ordering a part that is close in appearance but incorrect in function.

The packaging size is 32.5 x 18 x 13.9, which may help when planning freight, storage, or bench comparison. Warranty coverage is 12 months, so keep purchase details and installation records in case they are needed for any warranty discussion.

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 1986S00786 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.
