Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a starter motor, the safest check is the part number and the physical dimensions. This unit is DXS508, built as a 12V, 9 tooth Denso style starter with a 3 hole mount, 74mm flange diameter and mount centres of 117mm, 92mm and 87mm. Those figures need to line up with the starter being replaced, because even a small difference in mounting or pinion arrangement can prevent correct installation.

The 1.4kW power rating, clockwise rotation and 29mm pinion diameter are also relevant when comparing alternatives. A starter that is close in appearance can still differ in rotation, tooth count, flange size or mount hole arrangement, so it is worth checking the removed unit and the application details side by side before purchase.

This starter is listed as new, not remanufactured, and is covered by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty. For commercial use, the warranty term is shorter, so it is sensible to confirm the intended duty cycle before ordering. The unit weighs 3.9kg and is supplied each, which can help when checking freight handling or comparing like-for-like parts.

The Toyota fitment preview suggests this starter is used across several Toyota applications, including Corolla, Estima Emina / Lucida, Tarago, Tercel and Town Ace SBV. That is a useful guide, but the final check should always be made against the vehicle’s exact model, build details and the part number on the existing starter or replacement reference.

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 DXS508 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 DXS508, 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 TOYOTA COROLLA, TOYOTA COROLLA 1978, TOYOTA COROLLA 1979, TOYOTA COROLLA 1980. 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.
