Mahle Starter Motor 24V 9TH CW MS696

The Mahle Starter Motor 24V 9th CW, part number MS696, is an OE product in the heavy commercial starter motor range. It is listed as a 24V unit with a 9th clockwise configuration, which makes the electrical rating and rotation direction important checkpoints before purchase.

This starter motor is supplied as each and carries a one year warranty. Key physical details include 3 mounting bores, a mounting points diameter of 146.0 mm, a flywheel depth of 51.0 mm, a clamp size of 31, a bore O1 of 13.5 mm, and a connecting angle of 105.0 degrees.

Because starter motor applications can vary by flywheel setup, mounting pattern, and vehicle electrical system, the part number MS696 and the listed measurements should be matched carefully to the vehicle already in service. The fitment information provided references MAN and Mercedes-Benz heavy vehicle applications, including buses and trucks in several model families.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MS696 against the starter already fitted to the vehicle, then check the 24V electrical system, 9th clockwise rotation, and the 3-bolt mounting pattern. The listed mounting points diameter of 146.0 mm and flywheel depth of 51.0 mm are practical checks that help confirm the starter will suit the application physically as well as electrically.

The fitment references supplied include MAN and Mercedes-Benz bus and truck families, but those names alone should not be treated as a guarantee. Within those ranges, model year, engine setup, flywheel specification, and starter variant can still differ, so the safest approach is to confirm the original part number and all relevant dimensions before fitting.

If you are replacing a failed starter, it is worth comparing the old unit side by side with this Mahle item before installation. Checking the wiring position, mounting hole spacing, and engagement depth can prevent unnecessary downtime, especially where the vehicle has had previous repairs or component changes.

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 MS696 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.

Mahle Starter Motor 24V 9Th CW. Part number MS696 should be checked first. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number MS696, 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 heavy comm in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

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.

The listed warranty is One Year. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Please confirm compatibility by matching part number MS696, 24V specification, 9th clockwise rotation, mounting pattern, and the vehicle application details before ordering. The listed MAN and Mercedes-Benz references are guidance only, not a guarantee of fit.
