OEX Starter Motor 12V 8T CW Valeo Style VXS922

The OEX Starter Motor VXS922 is a new 12V starter motor with 8 teeth, clockwise rotation, and a 1.4kW power rating. It is built in a Valeo style layout and suits Valeo units, so the key checks are the part number, rotation, and mounting details before ordering.

Physical dimensions matter on starter motors, and this unit measures 207mm overall length with a 73mm flange diameter, 98mm mount centres, and a 53mm nose cone length. It uses a 2-hole starter mount with M10 x 1.25 mount hole diameter, which makes the installation pattern a critical match point.

The pinion is 28mm in diameter and sits 17mm at rest, with a dry clutch arrangement and 8 teeth. At 3.15kg, it is a substantial rotating electrical component, so confirming the exact application against the existing unit is the safest way to avoid delays or incorrect supply.

Application and Buying Notes

Starter motors need matching dimensions as well as the correct electrical and rotation details. For this OEX unit, the most useful checks are the VXS922 part number, 12V system voltage, clockwise rotation, 8-tooth pinion, and Valeo style layout. If the replacement unit differs in nose cone length, mount centres, or mounting hole size, it may not install correctly even if it looks similar.

The listed fitment groups include Hyundai Terracan, Kia Sorento, Mitsubishi Challenger, and Mitsubishi Pajero, but the practical check is whether your vehicle’s existing starter matches the same application and physical details. The note against interchange is important here: this unit will not interchange with MXS229 due to nosecone rotation, so rotation and nosecone orientation should be confirmed carefully before purchase.

Mounting and clearance are often where the wrong starter causes trouble. This unit has a 73mm flange diameter, 98mm mount centres, M10 x 1.25 mount holes, and a 53mm nose cone length, so comparing the old starter side by side is a sensible step. The 1.4kW rating and 3.15kg weight also help confirm you are looking at the right style of replacement.

Warranty terms are listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That warranty sits alongside OEX’s stated sourcing from ISO certified factories and market leading OEM and aftermarket suppliers, but the correct application still comes down to matching the part number and fitment details against the vehicle already fitted.

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 VXS922 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.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW Valeo Style. Part number VXS922 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 VXS922, 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.
