OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CW Bosch Style BXS0160

The OEX Starter Motor BXS0160 is a new 12V starter motor in a Bosch-style configuration, with a 9 tooth pinion and clockwise rotation. It is listed as a 2 hole starter mount type and is intended for dry clutch applications. Key dimensions include a 102mm mount centres A measurement, 82mm flange diameter, 48mm nose cone length, and 204mm overall length.

This unit is rated at 1.1kW and uses a 26mm pinion diameter with 14mm pinion at rest. It weighs 2.8kg and is supplied as each. Those measurements are important when comparing the starter against the existing unit, especially where housing length, flange size, mount centres, and pinion specification need to match closely.

OEX describes this starter as part of its rotating electrical range, sourced from original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with production from ISO certified factories. The listed warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, which gives a useful benchmark when selecting a replacement starter for a Bosch application.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the existing starter against BXS0160, especially the 12V rating, clockwise rotation, 9 tooth pinion, and Bosch-style fitment. The listed 2 hole mount, M12 mount hole diameter, 102mm mount centres A, and 82mm flange diameter are all practical checks that help confirm whether the replacement matches the unit already in the vehicle.

The overall length of 204mm, nose cone length of 48mm, and pinion diameter of 26mm can matter when there is limited clearance around the bell housing or where the original starter sits close to surrounding components. The 1.1kW power rating and dry clutch application are also worth confirming against the original specification before purchase.

If you are replacing an existing Bosch unit, check the part number on the old starter where possible and compare it to BXS0160. Even when a starter looks similar, small differences in mount centres, tooth count, or pinion position can affect installation, so it is best to verify the physical details before fitting.

The warranty shown is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. Warranty terms can be useful when choosing a replacement, but they do not replace fitment checking. The safest approach is to confirm the vehicle application, compare the dimensions, and make sure the starter is intended for a Bosch-style 12V 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 BXS0160 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 9Th CW Bosch Style. Part number BXS0160 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 BXS0160, 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 AUDI A4, AUDI A4 2002, AUDI A4 2003, AUDI A4 2004. 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: Confirm fitment by checking the part number BXS0160, the Bosch-style application, and the listed dimensions and mounting details against the vehicle and the removed starter before ordering.
