Application and Buying Notes

Starter motor replacement should be checked against the existing unit, not only the vehicle badge. The key identifiers here are Valeo part number 438069, 12V voltage, 11 teeth, clockwise rotation and the 3 hole mount layout with 120mm and 84mm mount centres. If any of those details differ from the old starter, the replacement may not suit.

The listed dimensions are important because starters can look similar while differing in flange size, mount hole pattern or pinion position. This unit has a 66mm flange diameter, 237mm overall length, M10x1.5 mount hole diameter and a pinion at rest measurement of -6mm. Those measurements should be compared carefully before ordering.

This starter is described as a dry clutch unit with no clamp, and it weighs 4.04kg. For vehicles that appear in the known applications list, it is still sensible to confirm the fit against the original part number and physical layout before purchase, especially if the vehicle has had prior repairs or a non-original starter fitted.

The one year warranty applies to the unit supplied, but warranty coverage does not replace the need to confirm application. For a reliable match, use the part number 438069 together with the voltage, tooth count, rotation direction and mounting measurements shown above.

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 438069 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 438069, 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 CITROEN C5, CITROEN C5 2001, CITROEN C5 2002, CITROEN C5 2003, PEUGEOT 306, PEUGEOT 306 1993. 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.
