Application and Buying Notes

This starter motor is identified by Valeo part no. 438165, so that number is the first thing to compare when replacing an existing unit. The listed 12V system, 1.9kW rating, 11 teeth, and clockwise rotation are all important checks because a starter can look similar while still differing in electrical output or drive direction.

Mounting and physical dimensions also need attention. The unit has a 3-hole starter mount, 3 thread bores, a 72mm flange diameter, and a 24mm pinion diameter. Those dimensions help confirm whether the starter will physically suit the vehicle application and the original mounting setup.

The fitment information supplied covers several Citroën and Peugeot models, including C4, C5, Dispatch, DS4, DS5, 3008, 307, 308, 406, 407, 508, Expert, and RCZ variants. Even so, model names alone are not enough to confirm compatibility, because starter motors can vary by engine and build specification within the same model range.

If you are replacing a failed starter, compare the old unit’s tag, mounting face, tooth count, rotation, and connector or bracket layout before ordering. The product is listed as new and dry-clutch compatible, and it carries a one-year warranty, but the correct application still needs to be matched carefully to the vehicle already in front of you.

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 438165 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 438165, 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 C4, CITROEN C4 2004, CITROEN C4 2005, CITROEN C4 2006, PEUGEOT 3008, PEUGEOT 3008 2009. 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: Please confirm compatibility using Valeo part no. 438165 and the listed details: 12V, 1.9kW, 11 teeth, CW rotation, 3-hole mount, 72mm flange diameter, and 24mm pinion diameter. Vehicle model names are only a guide and should be checked against the original starter and application details.
