Application and Buying Notes

When checking this starter, start with the part number 438087 and confirm the unit is a 12V clockwise starter with 10 teeth and a 1.3kW rating. Those details are the most useful first match points before comparing the physical dimensions, especially the 118mm mount centres B, 113mm mount centres A, and 33mm mount centres C.

The mounting style is important here: this unit is listed as a pad mount starter with a 3 hole starter mount type and a 12mm mount hole diameter. If the existing starter uses a different mounting pattern, or the nose cone length of 30mm and overall length of 206mm do not line up with the removed unit, it is not the right match.

The pinion details are also worth checking carefully. This starter has a 27mm pinion diameter, 1mm pinion at rest, and 10 teeth, so the engagement profile needs to align with the vehicle’s flywheel arrangement. A mismatch in tooth count, rotation direction, or mounting geometry can prevent correct installation even if the starter appears close at a glance.

Because the listed applications cover multiple Citroen, Peugeot, and Renault models across different years, the safest approach is to compare the existing unit and vehicle details side by side. Use the part number 438087, the 12V specification, and the exact mount dimensions as your main checks rather than relying on model name alone.

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 438087 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.

Valeo Starter Motor 12V 10Th CW. Part number 438087 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 438087, 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 CITROEN C5, CITROEN C5 2001, CITROEN C5 2002, CITROEN C5 2003, PEUGEOT 406, PEUGEOT 406 2000. 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 fitment using part number 438087, the 12V 10 tooth clockwise specification, and the listed mount and size details before purchase.
