Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this starter to an existing unit, start with part number 438144, then confirm the electrical rating of 12V, the 0.9kW power rating, and the clockwise rotation. Those details matter because a starter can look similar externally while still differing in tooth count, rotation direction, or mounting style.

The mounting setup is also important here. This Valeo starter is a 3 hole mount type with one thread bore, a pinion at rest of 11mm, and 9 teeth. If the removed starter has a different tooth count, mount pattern, or pinion position, it should not be assumed to be the same part.

The fitment list includes several Abarth, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat applications, but the safest way to buy is to match the vehicle application with the exact starter specifications. Where possible, compare the original part label, mounting holes, and electrical details before fitting.

Because this unit is listed as new and supplied as an OE product, it is intended to match the original style of component rather than a remanufactured alternative. The one year warranty provides a clear warranty period, but it does not replace the need to verify fitment against the vehicle and the existing starter setup.

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 438144 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 9Th CW. Part number 438144 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 438144, 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 ABARTH 500 / 595 / 695, ABARTH 500 / 595 / 695 2008, ABARTH 500 / 595 / 695 2009, ABARTH 500 / 595 / 695 2010, ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA, ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA 2011. 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: Please confirm fitment using part number 438144 and the listed application details, including 12V, CW rotation, 9 teeth, and 3 hole starter mount type, before ordering.
