Detailed Description

Valeo 438075 is part of the Valeo Starter line and is identified with technical number D7RS129. Valeo has supplied original equipment electrical systems for decades, and this starter is 100% new rather than remanufactured, which removes the uncertainty associated with reused internal components. For Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Beetle, Passat, EuroVan, and Corrado applications, the listed fitment notes should be matched carefully to the vehicle’s chassis and equipment level.

This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 17305, SR0407X) for the same application.

Common Replacement Uses

  • Engine cranking problems caused by a worn starter motor.
  • No-start conditions related to starter drive or internal electrical wear.
  • Slow or inconsistent starting performance.
  • Replacement needs on vehicles requiring the specified 12-volt, counterclockwise starter configuration.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting configuration, tooth count, rotation, and fitment notes before installation. Some Volkswagen Golf and Jetta applications are tied to specific chassis or equipment details, so confirm the VIN and option notes against the listing before ordering. The starter should be installed using the vehicle’s original mounting points and electrical connections.

Quality Assurance

Valeo is a long-standing original equipment supplier in electrical systems, and the 438075 is built as a new starter assembly for direct replacement use in the listed applications.
