Product Details

Valeo Starter 600212 is engineered as a 100% new replacement starter, which helps reduce the risk associated with remanufactured units. It is designed for vehicles that use a 12V PMDD starter with clockwise rotation and a 2-hole, 2-threaded mount. This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 16197, SR4153X) for the same application.

Common Starting Issues This Starter Can Address

  • Slow or weak engine cranking
  • No-crank condition caused by starter failure
  • Intermittent starting after key turn or ignition command
  • Starter noise related to worn internal drive components
  • Starting problems on vehicles requiring a 0.9 kW Valeo OE starter

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter specifications before installation, including 12V system voltage, clockwise rotation, 10-tooth drive, and the 2-hole, 2-threaded mounting pattern. Confirm application notes carefully for Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Veloster, Kia Rio, Kia Soul, and Dodge Attitude listings, especially where start/stop or ISG notes are specified. Compare the original unit to the new starter and inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging-system output before final installation.

Quality Assurance

Valeo has supplied original equipment electrical components since 1923 and remains a major OE starter supplier to global vehicle manufacturers. The Valeo OE Starter line is built as new replacement hardware rather than remanufactured stock, supporting consistent fit and starting performance in the listed applications.
