Valeo Starter Motor 12V 11 Tooth CCW Remanufactured 1.8KW Part No. 438077

The Valeo Starter Motor 12V 11 Tooth CCW is a remanufactured starter motor supplied as each, with part number 438077 and a power rating of 1.8kW. It is a 3 hole starter motor with a 76mm flange diameter, 106mm mount centres A, 102mm mount centres B, and 102mm mount centres C.

This unit is specified as 12 volt, counter clockwise rotation, with 11 teeth and a 29mm pinion diameter. It has a nose cone length of 11mm, an overall length of 240mm, and a pinion at rest measurement of 52mm, which are all useful checks when comparing against the original starter before ordering.

It is listed as a Valeo unit, suitable for Valeo applications, and the fitment preview supplied includes Volkswagen Transporter and Volkswagen Transporter / Caravelle applications across a range of model years. Because starter motors are sensitive to mounting pattern, rotation, and pinion details, the part number 438077 should be checked carefully against the vehicle application and the removed unit.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the starter against the removed unit by checking part number 438077, the 12V rating, CCW rotation, and the 11 tooth pinion. The mounting pattern is also critical here: this starter is a 3 hole design with 106mm, 102mm, and 102mm mount centre measurements, so even small differences in bracket or flange layout can stop it from fitting correctly.

The 76mm flange diameter, 29mm pinion diameter, 11mm nose cone length, and 240mm overall length are practical comparison points when confirming compatibility. If the existing starter differs in any of those dimensions, or if the vehicle uses a different rotation or tooth count, it should not be assumed to be the same unit.

This is a remanufactured Valeo starter motor, not a new unit. Remanufactured starters are a common replacement choice where the housing and key dimensions match, but the correct application still depends on the vehicle, the original starter configuration, and the mounting arrangement. The listed 1.8kW power rating, dry clutch specification, and L 60 position / degree are useful identifiers when cross-checking.

The supplied fitment preview points to Volkswagen Transporter and Volkswagen Transporter / Caravelle applications, including years from 1990 through 1999 in the previewed data. Use that only as a guide alongside the physical measurements and the part number, because starter fitment is exacting and can vary by engine, build period, and specification.

The weight is listed at 3.88kg and the unit includes high-quality components intended to support lifetime, reliability, and efficiency. Even so, the safest approach is to compare the old starter, the vehicle application details, and the quoted dimensions before purchase, especially where access is limited and repeat removal would be difficult.

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 438077 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 A 106mm, Mount Centres C 102mm, Nose Cone Length 11mm, Overall Length 240mm, Pinion Diameter 29mm, Rotation CCW, Voltage 12.

Additional published details for cross-checking include New / Reman. Remanufactured, Wet / Dry Clutch Dry, Clamp NO, Product Group 2 STARTER MOTORS, Part No. 438077, Brand VALEO, Description Valeo Starter Motor 12V 11Th CCW, Flange Diameter 76mm, Mount Centres B 102mm.

Valeo Starter Motor 12V 11Th CCW. Part number 438077 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 438077, 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 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER, VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER / CARAVELLE, VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER / CARAVELLE 1990, VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER / CARAVELLE 1991. 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: Confirm compatibility by matching part number 438077, 12V CCW rotation, 11 tooth pinion, and the 3 hole mounting dimensions before ordering. If the removed starter or vehicle application does not align with these details, do not assume fitment.
