OEX Starter Motor 12V 10 Tooth CW Bosch Style BXS0163

The OEX Starter Motor BXS0163 is a 12V starter motor with 10 teeth and clockwise rotation, made in a Bosch style configuration. It is a new rotating electrical component, supplied as each, with a 2kW power rating and a dry clutch setup.

Key physical details matter on a starter motor like this, and the important measurements here include 87mm mount centres, a 60mm nose cone length, a 60mm flange diameter, and an overall length of 248mm. The starter uses a 2 hole mount with M10x1.5 mounting holes, so checking the existing unit against these dimensions is essential before purchase.

This unit is identified as part number BXS0163 and is listed for Bosch unit applications. The pinion diameter and pinion at rest are both 27mm, and the starter weighs 3.4kg. If you are matching a replacement starter for a Mercedes-Benz application, confirm the part number and mounting details carefully rather than relying on appearance alone.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number BXS0163, the 12V rating, the 10 tooth pinion, and the clockwise rotation with the starter removed from the vehicle. A starter that looks similar can still differ in mount centres, nose cone length, flange diameter, or pinion size, so the listed 87mm mount centres and 248mm overall length are important checks.

The Bosch style fitment and the note that it suits Bosch unit make are useful identifiers, but they should be matched against the vehicle application and the existing starter unit. The 2 hole mount with M10x1.5 holes, together with the 60mm nose cone length and 60mm flange diameter, should be confirmed before fitting.

For commercial use, the listed warranty is 1 year, while passenger use is 3 years. Keep that in mind if the vehicle is used in a mixed-duty setting or if the replacement is being fitted to a fleet vehicle. The 3.4kg weight and dry clutch designation are also useful when confirming the correct assembly type.

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 BXS0163 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 BXS0163, 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 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS, MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS 2014, MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS 2015, MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS 2016. 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.

The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Please confirm compatibility using part number BXS0163, the 12V 10 tooth clockwise Bosch style specification, and the exact mounting dimensions before purchase. Vehicle fitment should always be checked against the existing starter and application details.
