OEX Starter Motor 12V 8 Tooth CW Valeo Style VXS940

This OEX starter motor is a 12V unit with 8 teeth, clockwise rotation, and a 1.4kW power rating. It is listed as Valeo style and suits Valeo applications, with part number VXS940 for identification. The unit is new and weighs 3.0kg.

Key dimensions include a 70mm flange diameter, 100mm mount centre to centre, M10 mount hole diameter, and 210mm overall length. The pinion diameter is 23mm and the pinion at rest is 27mm, so these measurements matter when comparing against the original starter motor.

OEX states its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with production from ISO certified factories. This starter motor is backed by a three year warranty and is sold as each, which makes it important to confirm the application details before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number VXS940 and compare the starter layout against the original unit on the vehicle. The important checks here are 12V voltage, clockwise rotation, 8 tooth pinion count, 70mm flange diameter, and the 2 hole mount style with 100mm centre to centre spacing.

This starter motor is listed as Valeo style and suits Valeo applications, so the original starter type matters. If the vehicle previously had a different unit style, the pinion diameter of 23mm, pinion at rest measurement of 27mm, and overall length of 210mm should all be checked against the removed part.

The supplied fitment references point to Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento applications, including sample years 2007, 2008, and 2009. Those references are useful, but they should still be treated as application guides rather than a substitute for confirming the exact starter on the vehicle.

Because starter motors can differ by engine, transmission, and production date, the safest approach is to compare the old unit, the vehicle details, and the listed dimensions before purchase. The 1.4kW rating, M10 mounting holes, and 3.0kg weight provide practical checkpoints when comparing physical parts.

The unit is new and backed by a three year warranty, which is useful when you are replacing a worn starter rather than repairing the existing one. It remains important to verify the electrical and mechanical match first, because warranty coverage does not replace fitment checking.

If you are matching by chassis details, use the application information together with the part number and the starter’s physical measurements. A close match on the listed dimensions is often the best way to avoid ordering a unit that looks similar but differs in mount or pinion configuration.

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 VXS940 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.
