Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number VXS944 and check the starter layout against your original unit. This starter is a Valeo style, 12V, clockwise rotating unit with an 8 tooth pinion, so the electrical specification and pinion count need to line up with the vehicle's original starter arrangement.

Physical dimensions matter just as much as the voltage rating. Confirm the 2-hole mount type, M10x1.25 mount hole diameter, 100mm mount centre to centre, 75mm flange diameter, and 186mm overall length against the removed starter before purchase, especially where clearance around the bell housing is tight.

The listed fitment references point to Hyundai i20 and Kia Picanto applications, including i20 years shown from 2008 through 2015 and Picanto years shown from 2016 through 2017. Treat those as application guidance only and still compare the old unit, connector arrangement, and mounting points to make sure the replacement matches the vehicle you are working on.

If you are replacing a failed starter, keep the old unit until the new one is checked side by side. The 28mm pinion diameter, 14mm pinion at rest, and 2.88kg weight are useful comparison points when identifying whether the replacement is the same style of assembly and not simply a similar-looking part.

For commercial use, the listed warranty is 1 year, while passenger use is listed at 3 years. Warranty terms do not replace fitment checks, so the safest approach is to confirm the starter’s dimensions, 12V rating, rotation direction, and part number before fitting.

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 VXS944 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 VXS944, 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility using part number VXS944, the Valeo style application, 12V rating, clockwise rotation, 8 tooth pinion, and the listed mounting dimensions before purchase or installation.
