OEX Starter Motor 12V 11 Tooth CW Valeo Style VXS954

The OEX starter motor VXS954 is a new 12V unit built in a Valeo style configuration, with 11 teeth and clockwise rotation. It is listed as suitable for start-stop applications and suits Valeo units, so the mounting style and application details matter just as much as the electrical rating when checking replacement suitability.

Key physical details include a 102mm mount centre measurement, 77mm flange diameter, M10x1.25 mount hole diameter, 218mm overall length, and a 34mm pinion diameter. The pinion sits 17mm at rest, and the starter uses a 2-hole mount type.

This unit is supplied by OEX, carries part number VXS954, and is a new starter motor rather than a remanufactured unit. It weighs 3.44kg and is covered by a 3-year passenger / 1-year commercial warranty, which may help with purchasing confidence when the application details line up.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number VXS954 and compare the mounting details against the original starter on the vehicle. The important checks here are the 12V rating, 11-tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, 2-hole mount type, and the measured dimensions of 102mm mount centres, 77mm flange diameter, and 218mm overall length.

Because this starter is noted as suitable for vehicles with a start-stop function, it is worth confirming that the existing vehicle specification actually uses that type of setup. A starter that is correct in voltage and tooth count can still be wrong if the application requires a different pinion depth, mount pattern, or rotation direction.

The listed Valeo style and suits unit make information should be treated as a compatibility checkpoint, not a guess. If the original unit is Valeo-pattern and the measured dimensions match, that is a stronger indication than relying on vehicle model alone. This matters especially on vehicles with multiple starter variants across the same model range.

Weight, pinion size, and pinion position can also help when comparing units side by side. The pinion diameter is 34mm, the pinion sits 17mm at rest, and the unit weighs 3.44kg, all of which can assist with a physical comparison before fitting begins.

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 VXS954 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 VXS954, 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 HYUNDAI I30, HYUNDAI I30 2011, HYUNDAI I30 2012, HYUNDAI I30 2013, KIA RONDO, KIA RONDO 2013. 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: Confirm fitment by checking part number VXS954, the Valeo style application, 12V electrical specification, 11-tooth CW configuration, and the measured mounting dimensions against the original starter before purchase or installation.
