Application and Buying Notes

The most useful checks on this Valeo starter are the part number 438090, 12V system voltage, clockwise rotation, 11 tooth pinion, and the 4 hole mounting pattern. These details need to match the vehicle application and the removed unit, especially where the original starter has a different nose length, flange size, or bolt pattern.

Physical dimensions are just as important as the electrical rating. This unit measures 238mm overall length, has a 33mm nose cone length, 66mm flange diameter, and mount centres of 104mm, 93mm, and 74mm. Those measurements help confirm the starter will sit correctly in the engine bay and align with the existing mounting points.

The listed 1.9kW power rating and 3.96kg weight give a good reference when comparing against a replacement starter, but they should not be used on their own to identify fitment. Starter motors can look similar while differing in rotation, tooth count, or mounting geometry, so the safest approach is to compare the old unit directly with the listing details.

This starter is noted as a new Valeo unit, supplied with a one year warranty. If you are matching a replacement for a Renault or Suzuki application, cross-check the vehicle details and the original starter configuration carefully before purchase, particularly if the vehicle has had previous repairs or engine 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 438090 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 104mm, Mount Centres C 74mm, Nose Cone Length 33mm, Overall Length 238mm, Pinion Diameter 30mm, Rotation CW, Voltage 12.

Valeo Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW. Part number 438090 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 438090, 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 RENAULT MEGANE, RENAULT MEGANE 2004, RENAULT MEGANE 2005, RENAULT MEGANE 2006, SUZUKI GRAND VITARA, SUZUKI GRAND VITARA 2005. 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching part number 438090, 12V, clockwise rotation, 11 teeth, 4 hole mount, and the listed dimensions against the original starter and vehicle application details before ordering.
