S1440 Replacement Starter Motor

Start your S1440 starter motor comparison with the linked Lucas reference LRS01440 and the specifications shown on this page. The listed electrical rating is 12V 1.7kW. A starter motor turns the engine during starting; the electrical rating and mechanical engagement must suit the application. Applications include selected Mercedes-Benz A160 1.7 Diesel variants.

Key Features and Benefits

  • 12V electrical system: match the vehicle voltage before selecting a unit.
  • 1.7kW power: compare the listed rating with the original starter motor.
  • 10-tooth pinion: compare gear engagement and pinion position.
  • Clockwise rotation: check the specified direction before fitting.
  • M8 connector / terminal: check the connection against the original unit.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

  • Mercedes-Benz A160 1.7 Diesel – selected applications 1998–2001 (engine code 668941).
  • Mercedes-Benz A170 1.7 Diesel – selected applications 1998–2001 (engine code 668940).
  • Mercedes-Benz Vaneo 1.7 Diesel – selected applications 2001–2005 (engine code 668914).

These are selected applications, not the complete fitment list. Check the detailed vehicle compatibility table, engine code and production year, then compare the original unit before ordering.

OE Numbers and Cross-Reference Information

The following cross-reference numbers are associated with S1440. Compare them with the original unit and technical specifications; a number match alone does not establish vehicle compatibility.

1108217, 1115008, 986018180, 986021260, 458223, LRS01440, LRS1440, DRS8180, DS9290

The full manufacturer cross-reference and OE listings are available elsewhere on this page. Confirm whether a number is an OE or aftermarket reference when comparing the original unit.

When Should You Replace Your Starter Motor?

Failure to crank, clicking during a start request or intermittent cranking can indicate a starting-system problem. A weak battery, poor connections or control-circuit faults can produce similar symptoms; test the system before replacing the starter motor.
