Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a starter motor, the safest match is the part number first: 438068. After that, confirm the 12V system, clockwise rotation, 11-tooth pinion, and the 3-hole mounting layout before ordering. Small differences in mount pattern, pinion size, or position / degree can mean the unit will not fit or will not align correctly.

This Valeo starter is listed with a 66mm flange diameter, M10 x 1.5 mount holes, and 3 thread bores, so it is worth checking the old unit carefully before you remove it. The 29mm pinion diameter and R 56 position / degree are also useful comparison points when matching against an existing starter.

The one-year warranty applies to this part as supplied, but warranty cover does not replace the need to verify compatibility. If the original starter has a matching Valeo number, compare the label, body shape, and mounting points to the replacement unit before installation.

For vehicles in the supplied Citroën and Peugeot application groups, always confirm the exact engine and starter arrangement against the vehicle already fitted. The same model name can use different starter types, so part number 438068 and the physical specifications should be checked together.

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 438068 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.
