Valeo Starter Motor 12V 12 Tooth CW 1.6KW Part No. 438333

The Valeo starter motor listed here is a new 12V unit with 12 teeth, clockwise rotation, and a 1.6kW power rating. It carries part number 438333 and is supplied as a 3 hole starter mount type, which makes the mounting pattern and application details important to verify before ordering.

Key physical measurements include 127mm mount centres A, 96mm mount centres B, and 64mm mount centres C, with M10x1.5 mount hole diameter, 200mm overall length, and a 35mm pinion diameter. The pinion at rest measures 5mm, and the unit weighs 3.5kg.

This starter motor is specified for vehicles with a start-stop function. It is a Valeo unit, new rather than remanufactured, and the warranty period is one year. For buyers matching a replacement starter, the combination of 12V, 12 tooth, CW rotation, and part number 438333 should be checked carefully against the existing unit and vehicle application.

Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this starter motor to the unit already on the vehicle, the most useful checks are the part number 438333, the 12V electrical setup, 12 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, and the 3 hole mounting style. The listed mount centres of 127mm, 96mm, and 64mm, together with the M10x1.5 mount hole diameter, are the kinds of details that determine whether the unit will physically match.

This starter is intended for vehicles with start-stop function, so that equipment detail matters as much as the electrical rating. A 1.6kW starter in a 3.5kg new Valeo assembly is a specific replacement rather than a universal one, and the 200mm overall length and 35mm pinion diameter should be treated as important comparison points.

If you are cross-checking against the old starter, confirm the number of teeth, rotation direction, mounting pattern, and pinion position before purchase. The pinion at rest measurement of 5mm and the L 38 position / degree are useful reference points when comparing closely related starters that may look similar but differ in fitment.

The listed fitment references are limited to Renault Trafic and Renault Trafic 2014, so they should be treated as application guidance rather than a blanket guarantee. Final confirmation should always come from the part number, mounting measurements, and the vehicle’s existing starter details.

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 438333 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.

Relevant published details for this unit include Type STARTER MOTOR, Unit of Measure EACH, Warranty One Year, Mount Centres B 96mm, Mount Hole Diameter M10x1.5, Overall Length 200mm, Pinion Diameter 35mm, Rotation CW, Voltage 12, Starter Mount Type 3 Hole.

Valeo Starter Motor 12V 12Th CW. Part number 438333 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number 438333, 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 RENAULT TRAFIC, RENAULT TRAFIC 2014. 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 compatibility by matching part number 438333, 12V specification, 12 tooth CW configuration, 3 hole mount pattern, and the listed dimensions against your existing starter and vehicle application before ordering.
