Bosch Starter Motor 12V 13 Tooth CCW - Part No. 1986S00868

This Bosch starter motor is a 12V unit with 13 teeth and CCW rotation, supplied as part number 1986S00868. It is listed as a starter motor for rotating electrical systems and is sold per each, which makes it important to match the electrical and physical details before ordering.

The unit is described as designed in fit and performance to meet OE starters, with a focus on premium starting performance. For buyers comparing replacement options, the key checks here are voltage, rotation, tooth count, mounting bore count and the Bosch part number 1986S00868.

Packaging dimensions are listed at 32.5 cm long, 18 cm wide and 13.9 cm high. Those figures can help with storage, freight handling and workshop planning, but they do not replace a fitment check against the vehicle application and starter configuration.

Fitment references supplied for this part include Mercedes-Benz applications, including A-Class, B-Class, CLA, GLA-Class and Sprinter 4-T coverage, plus a 5-T 2018 reference. Because these applications are broad in the listing, the safest approach is to verify the exact vehicle match by part number and starter specifications before purchase.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the Bosch part number 1986S00868 with the vehicle application and compare the starter details carefully. The important checks on this unit are 12V voltage, CCW rotation, 13 teeth and 2 mounting bores, because those specifications need to align with the vehicle’s original starter setup.

The supplied fitment references point to Mercedes-Benz passenger and light commercial applications, including A-Class, B-Class, CLA, GLA-Class and Sprinter 4-T. As model names alone do not confirm interchangeability, the safest buying decision is to confirm the exact vehicle variant, year and starter configuration against the listed part number and specifications.

Starter motors need to match both the electrical requirement and the physical mounting arrangement. A 12V unit with 13 teeth and CCW rotation may look similar to another starter, but a mismatch in rotation direction, tooth count or mounting bore count can prevent correct installation.

This Bosch unit is listed with a 12 months warranty and is supplied individually. If you are replacing a failed starter, it is good practice to compare the old unit’s part number, terminal layout, drive count and mounting points before fitting, especially where the vehicle has had previous repairs or engine changes.

The stated packaging size of 32.5 x 18 x 13.9 cm is useful for freight and workshop handling, but the real fitment decision should still come down to the vehicle application and the starter specification. If anything about the existing starter differs from the listing, pause and verify before purchase rather than relying on model name alone.

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 1986S00868 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 1986S00868, 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 by matching Bosch part number 1986S00868, 12V voltage, 13 teeth, CCW rotation and 2 mounting bores against the vehicle application before ordering. Where the vehicle details are uncertain, check the original starter and the application listing carefully.
