  • 12V electrical system: match the vehicle voltage before selecting a unit.
  • 1.7kW power: compare the listed rating with the original starter motor.
  • 9-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.

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?
