Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number VXS915U and compare the mounting pattern, because this starter uses a 3 hole mount with 111mm, 103mm and 37mm centres. The 12V system, clockwise rotation, 9 tooth pinion and 2.2kW rating all need to line up with the vehicle application and the starter being replaced.

Physical dimensions matter with starters, especially where clearance around the bellhousing and cable routing is tight. Check the 82mm flange diameter, 239mm overall length, 29mm pinion diameter and 23mm pinion at rest, along with the M10x1.5 / 10.5 mount hole diameter, before fitting.

This unit is listed as Valeo style and suits Valeo applications. If the original starter is a different style, or the vehicle has been modified, the safest approach is to compare the old unit side by side and confirm the terminal arrangement, mounting points and rotation direction before purchase.

Warranty is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That does not replace the need to confirm fitment first, because the correct starter still depends on the vehicle application, the matching part number and the exact mounting and electrical details.

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 VXS915U 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 VXS915U, 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 HOLDEN CAPTIVA 5, HOLDEN CAPTIVA 5 2011, HOLDEN CAPTIVA 5 2012, HOLDEN CAPTIVA 5 2013. 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 using part number VXS915U, the 12V clockwise specification, and the 3 hole mounting dimensions before ordering. Where vehicle application is listed, it should still be checked against the existing starter and the vehicle details to avoid ordering the wrong unit.
