  • 1.8kW power: compare the listed rating with the original starter motor.
  • 9-tooth pinion: compare gear engagement and pinion position.
  • Counter Clockwise rotation: check the specified direction before fitting.
  • M8 connector / terminal: check the connection against the original unit.

OE Numbers and Cross-Reference Information

The following cross-reference numbers are associated with S0781. Compare them with the original unit and technical specifications; a number match alone does not establish vehicle compatibility.

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.
