Valeo Starter Motor 12V 8 Tooth CW Part No. 438110

The Valeo starter motor listed here is a new 12V unit with 8 teeth, clockwise rotation, and part number 438110. It is supplied as each and carries a one year warranty, which makes the key checks straightforward: 12 volts, CW rotation, 8-tooth pinion, and the specific Valeo application details need to line up before purchase.

Mounting and dimensions matter with starter motors, and this unit includes a 3 hole starter mount type, 105mm mount centres A, 72mm mount centres B, 65mm mount centres C, and a 65mm flange diameter. The overall length is 165mm, the pinion diameter is 23mm, and the pinion at rest is -2mm, so it is worth comparing the physical layout against the existing starter before ordering.

The unit is described as suitable for Valeo applications and includes an M5 bolt style start wire connector, with 3 thread bores, M10x1.5 mount hole diameter, and a dry clutch arrangement. It is a rotating electrical component under product group 1, and the stated power rating is 0.85kW.

A noted feature is high-quality components intended to improve lifetime, reliability, and efficiency. As with any starter motor, the safest buying approach is to confirm the part number 438110, the rotation direction, tooth count, and the mounting pattern against the vehicle or removed unit.

Compatibility guidance

• Fitment is not verified here for specific vehicle models.
• The supplied fitment information references Atkinson 4870, ERF EC14, Foden Trucks S108, and Renault applications including Clio, Kangoo, Megane, and Scénic.
• Years shown in the fitment data include Atkinson 4870 from 1984 to 1988, ERF EC14 from 1995 to 2005, Foden Trucks S108 from 1993 to 2003, and Renault Clio from 2001 to 2008 plus Renault Kangoo from 2004 to 2005.
• Because starter motors can differ by mounting pattern, pinion, and connector style, compare the removed unit carefully against the dimensions and connector details listed here.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the part number 438110, the 12V electrical system, and the clockwise rotation. Those three checks are especially important on starter motors, because a correct-looking unit can still be wrong if the rotation, tooth count, or mounting layout does not match.

The listed physical dimensions are the practical reference points: 8 teeth, 23mm pinion diameter, 165mm overall length, 65mm flange diameter, and mount centres of 105mm, 72mm, and 65mm. If your existing starter differs at these points, it may not be the correct replacement even if the connector appears similar.

The connector note is also worth checking closely. This unit uses an M5 bolt style start wire connector, has 3 thread bores, and is described as a dry clutch starter motor. Matching the electrical connection and mounting style can save a lot of time during installation.

The fitment details supplied include several heavy vehicle and Renault applications, but that information should be treated as a guide rather than a guarantee. The best practice is to compare the part number, the old unit, and the application details together before you commit to the purchase.

If you are replacing a starter in a workshop or driveway setting, take a clear photo of the old unit before removal and record the mounting centres, connector style, and any markings on the housing. That makes it much easier to confirm whether this Valeo starter motor is the correct 12V, 8-tooth, clockwise replacement.

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 438110 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.

Valeo Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW. Part number 438110 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 438110, 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.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number 438110, the 12V CW specification, the 8-tooth pinion, and the mounting and connector details before ordering. Vehicle application data should be checked carefully against the removed starter motor.
