Application and Buying Notes

This starter motor is identified as a 12V, clockwise unit with 8 teeth and a 1.8kW rating, so the first check is whether the original starter matches those core details. If the vehicle uses a different rotation, tooth count, or mounting pattern, the replacement may not be suitable even if it looks similar at a glance.

The mounting measurements are just as important as the electrical specification. The unit has 104mm mount centres, a 77mm flange diameter, 32mm nose cone length, and an M10 x 1.25 mount hole diameter. Those dimensions help confirm the starter will physically locate in the same position as the original part.

This listing shows the starter as Valeo style and suits Valeo unit make, so the original starter type should be checked carefully. Matching the part number VXS916, the 2 hole mount type, and the 8 tooth pinion is the safest way to narrow the choice before purchase.

Weight is listed at 3.5kg and the unit is marked as new, not remanufactured. That may matter when comparing to an existing starter on the shelf or in the vehicle, especially where the original tag is still readable and can be compared directly with the replacement part details.

Warranty coverage is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. Warranty terms do not replace fitment checking, so the buyer should still confirm voltage, rotation, dimensions, and application details before fitting or returning a part claim later.

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 VXS916 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.

For part number VXS916, 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.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment by checking part number VXS916, the 12V CW specification, 8 tooth pinion, 2 hole mount type, and the vehicle application details before ordering. If anything on the original starter differs, use the measurements and application data to verify suitability with the vehicle.
