Mahle Starter Motor 12V 10 Tooth CW IM045

The Mahle starter motor IM045 is a 12V unit with 10 teeth and clockwise rotation, supplied as a new starter motor for rotating electrical applications. It is listed with a 32mm pinion diameter and a 3 hole starter mount type, so those details are worth checking against the existing unit before ordering.

This starter is identified as an OE product and is supplied under the Mahle brand, with the part number IM045. For buyers matching a replacement starter, the key checks here are 12 volt system voltage, 10 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, and the 3 hole mounting pattern.

The unit weight is 3.56kg and it is described as a dry clutch application. Those physical and application details help narrow the match when comparing to the removed part or workshop references, especially where the original starter has been damaged or the labels are no longer readable.

Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this starter motor to your vehicle or machine, start with the part number IM045 and then confirm the key physical details: 12V, 10 teeth, clockwise rotation, 32mm pinion diameter, and a 3 hole starter mount. If any of those differ from the unit being replaced, the starter may not be the correct match.

Because starter motors can share similar appearances while differing in pinion size, tooth count, rotation, or mounting layout, it is sensible to verify the old unit before purchase. A 3 hole mount and CW rotation are important checkpoints, and the 3.56kg weight can also help when cross-checking against a removed starter in the workshop.

The description lists this as a new Mahle starter motor and an OE product, which points to the intended original-equipment style application. Even so, fitment should still be confirmed against the vehicle’s required starter specifications rather than relying on brand alone, particularly where multiple versions may exist within the same model range.

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 IM045 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.

Mahle Starter Motor 12V 10Th CW. Part number IM045 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 IM045, 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.

Where no verified application list is available, the part number, mounting details, connector style, and published specifications should be used as the primary selection criteria.

In the absence of a verified fitment list, the safest approach is to compare the removed unit directly with the listed product details. That includes checking the housing style, pulley layout, regulator arrangement, and any visible identification numbers before supply is approved.

The listed warranty is One Year. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number IM045 together with the 12V, 10 tooth, clockwise rotation, 32mm pinion diameter, and 3 hole mounting details before ordering.
