OEX Starter Motor 12V 9TH CW Valeo Style VXS957

The OEX starter motor VXS957 is a new 12V unit with a 9-tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, and a 1.0kW power rating. It is listed as Valeo style and suits Valeo units, so matching the part number and the starter layout is important before ordering.

This starter motor uses a 2 hole mount type with M10x1.5 mount holes and 77mm mount centres A. The overall length is 168mm, the pinion diameter is 25mm, and the pinion at rest measures 20mm, which are useful checks when comparing against the removed unit.

OEX states its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with manufacturing from ISO certified factories. This starter motor is backed by a 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty, making it a straightforward replacement option when the application details line up.

Application and Buying Notes

Confirm the removed starter motor matches part number VXS957, the 12V rating, 9-tooth pinion, and clockwise rotation before purchase. Those details are the main checks for avoiding a mismatch when replacing a starter motor on a vehicle that uses a Valeo-style unit.

The mounting details matter just as much as the electrical rating. This unit has a 2 hole starter mount, M10x1.5 mount holes, 77mm mount centres A, and a 168mm overall length, so it should be compared carefully with the old starter and the space available on the engine side.

The pinion dimensions are also worth checking. A 25mm pinion diameter and 20mm pinion at rest measurement can help confirm you are looking at the right physical style, especially where several starter variants are used across similar applications.

For buyers who need the warranty position clearly stated, OEX lists 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That makes the intended vehicle use important when weighing up replacement options, as the warranty period differs between passenger and commercial applications.

As with any starter motor purchase, do not rely on appearance alone. Compare the part number, the Valeo unit make reference, the mounting pattern, and the tooth count together so the replacement is matched on the facts that actually determine fit.

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 VXS957 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.
