Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a starter motor, the safest comparison points are the part number 438175, 12V voltage, 2.0kW output, 11 tooth pinion and CCW rotation. Those details need to line up with the existing unit or the vehicle application data, especially where the starter mount type is 3 hole and the physical dimensions are specific.

The size checks matter as much as the electrical rating. This Valeo unit measures 211mm overall length, uses 127mm / 111mm / 18mm mount centres, has a 76mm flange diameter and a 12mm mount hole diameter. If any of those differ from the removed starter, it should be treated as a warning sign rather than assumed to be close enough.

This is a new starter motor, not a remanufactured unit, and it carries a one year warranty. For buyers working on European vehicles, the listed application families and the Valeo unit make reference are helpful, but the final check should always be based on the vehicle’s installed starter and the exact part number.

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 438175 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 438175, 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 AUDI A3, AUDI A3 2003, AUDI A3 2004, AUDI A3 2005, SKODA OCTAVIA, SKODA OCTAVIA 2004. 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 fitment by checking part number 438175, 12V voltage, 2.0kW rating, 11 tooth CCW rotation and the listed mount and pinion dimensions against the vehicle’s existing starter before ordering.
