Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the part number BXS0185 matches the starter you are replacing and compare the physical details: 12V, 10 teeth, 1.4kW, clockwise rotation, and a 2 hole mount with 134mm mount centres. These are the practical checks that help separate a correct replacement from a similar-looking unit.

The listed Bosch style and Bosch unit make matter when the original starter uses that style of housing and mounting arrangement. The flange diameter is 66mm, the overall length is 230mm, and the pinion measurements are 33mm diameter with 23mm at rest, so these figures should be checked against the removed unit where access allows.

Vehicle fitment information is provided for Audi and Bentley applications, but model and year alone should not be treated as enough for a final match. Starter motors can differ by engine, transmission, mounting pattern, and pinion specification, so the safest approach is to compare the existing unit, the part number, and all listed dimensions before purchase.

This is a new starter motor supplied as a single piece, and the warranty differs between passenger and commercial use. If the vehicle is used commercially, make sure the intended application sits within the 1yr commercial warranty terms rather than assuming the passenger warranty period applies.

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 BXS0185 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.
