Valeo Starter Motor 12V 10 Tooth CW Part No. 438202

This Valeo starter motor is a 12V unit with 10 teeth, clockwise rotation, and part number 438202. It is a new starter motor for the rotating electrical category, with a 2.2kW power rating, a dry clutch setup, and a 3-hole starter mount type.

Key dimensions include 135mm mount centres A, 102mm mount centres B, 67mm mount centres C, a 76mm flange diameter, a 50mm nose cone length, and an overall length of 215mm. The pinion at rest measures 14mm and the pinion diameter is 32mm, so matching the physical layout is an important part of checking suitability.

The unit is listed for Valeo applications and the note states that 10th and 11th units are interchangeable. It also carries a one year warranty and weighs 4.05kg, which may help when comparing against an existing starter motor before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number 438202 and the starter layout against the unit already fitted to the vehicle. The listed 12V, 10 tooth, clockwise configuration and 3-hole mount type need to match the replacement application, along with the mount centres of 135mm, 102mm, and 67mm.

The dimensions matter as much as the electrical specification. A starter motor can share a similar look but still differ in flange diameter, nose cone length, overall length, or pinion position. Here the key checks are the 76mm flange diameter, 50mm nose cone length, 215mm overall length, 14mm pinion at rest, and 32mm pinion diameter.

The note that 10th and 11th units are interchangeable is useful, but it should be applied carefully. Confirm the unit in the vehicle, then compare the tooth count, rotation, mount style, and physical measurements before fitting. If the existing starter has different mounting points or a different pinion arrangement, do not assume interchangeability without checking.

This starter is listed as a Valeo unit and the fitment data includes Nissan X-Trail and Renault models such as Koleos and Laguna. That is a helpful guide, but the safest purchase decision is still to match the vehicle application to the part number and dimensions rather than relying on model name alone.

If you are replacing a worn starter, compare the old unit’s weight, casing layout, and electrical type as well as the mounting position. The listed weight is 4.05kg, and the product is a new starter motor with a one year warranty, so it is intended as a direct replacement only where the application matches.

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 438202 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 135mm, Mount Centres C 67mm, Number of Teeth 10, Pinion at Rest 14mm, Power Rating 2.2kW, Suits Unit Make Valeo, Note 10th and 11th units are interchangeable.

Additional published details for cross-checking include New / Reman. New, Wet / Dry Clutch Dry, Clamp NO, Weight 4.05kg, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. 438202, Brand VALEO, Description Valeo Starter Motor 12V 10Th CW, Flange Diameter 76mm, Mount Centres B 102mm.

Valeo Starter Motor 12V 10Th CW. Part number 438202 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 438202, 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 NISSAN X-TRAIL, NISSAN X-TRAIL 2008, NISSAN X-TRAIL 2009, NISSAN X-TRAIL 2010, RENAULT KOLEOS, RENAULT KOLEOS 2008. 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 compatibility by matching part number 438202, the 12V 10 tooth clockwise specification, the 3-hole mount type, and the recorded dimensions against the vehicle and the existing starter motor before purchase.
