OEX Starter Motor 12V 12T CW Valeo Style VXS945

The OEX Starter Motor VXS945 is a new 12V starter motor with 12 teeth, clockwise rotation and a Valeo style fitment profile. It is rated at 2.2kW and weighs 4.1kg, with an overall length of 225mm and a 2 hole starter mount type.

This unit uses a 109mm mount centre to centre measurement, a 37.5mm pinion diameter and a 11mm pinion at rest. The mount hole diameter is listed as M12/12, which is an important check point when comparing against the original starter on the vehicle.

OEX states its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, and that they are produced in ISO certified factories.

Application and Buying Notes

This starter motor should be matched carefully against the original unit before purchase, especially the part number VXS945, the Valeo style casing, and the physical measurements of 12 teeth, 109mm mount centre to centre, and 225mm overall length. Those details matter because a starter can look similar while still using a different pinion, mount pattern or engagement depth.

The key compatibility points here are 12V electrical system, clockwise rotation, 2 hole mounting, M12/12 mount hole diameter, and the 37.5mm pinion diameter. The pinion at rest is listed at 11mm, so that clearance and engagement style should also be checked against the removed starter or the vehicle application details.

The supplied fitment information includes Volkswagen Amarok and Volkswagen Crafter 30-50 applications, with Amarok entries shown across 2010 to 2020 in the fitment preview. Even so, starter motors are best confirmed by part number and dimensions, because engine variant, transmission, and factory equipment can affect the correct match.

If you are replacing an existing Valeo style starter, compare the old unit side by side with this one before ordering. Measure the mounting points, confirm rotation direction, and verify the tooth count and pinion size so the replacement lines up with the original fitment and cable connection arrangement.

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 VXS945 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 VXS945, 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 VOLKSWAGEN AMAROK, VOLKSWAGEN AMAROK 2010, VOLKSWAGEN AMAROK 2011, VOLKSWAGEN AMAROK 2012. 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: Please confirm fitment by checking part number VXS945, the Valeo style application, and the listed measurements against the original starter and vehicle details before ordering. Starter motor fitment can vary by engine and build specification, even within the same model range.
