Q 1. Which Hitachi part numbers does the WAI 18218N replace?

A. The WAI 18218N replaces Hitachi original-equipment starter motors including S114-656, S114-656A, S114203, S114230, S114656, and S114656A — six Hitachi references in total. If you are cross-referencing from a Hitachi number, these are listed in the catalogue. Use the selection widget or search our cross-referenced catalogue by OEM number to confirm your match, or ask Simon.

Q 2. Will this starter motor fit my Yanmar engine?

A. The WAI 18218N fits Yanmar models including the 3TN66 and 3TNA68, covering the 1995–2006 period — three Yanmar applications in total. It also cross-references Yanmar OE numbers including 119865-77012, 11986577012, 11986577013, 12407077010, and 52416077011. Use the selection widget to match your exact Yanmar model and engine variant, or search by Yanmar OE number. Fitment is backed by our Fit Guarantee.

Q 3. Does this replace Remy RS41157?

A. Yes. Remy RS41157 is listed as a cross-reference for the WAI 18218N. If your records or machine documentation show RS41157, this WAI unit is the confirmed equivalent. Search our cross-referenced catalogue by that number or ask Simon to verify against your application.

Q 4. What type of starter motor is this — PMDD or conventional?

A. The WAI 18218N uses a PMDD (Permanent Magnet Direct Drive) design. Unlike conventional starters with wound field coils, PMDD units use permanent magnets, which reduces weight and internal complexity. The unit produces 0.9kW at 12V with clockwise rotation and a 9-tooth pinion, matching the original Hitachi specification precisely.

Q 5. How many cross-references does this part carry, and where can I check them?

A. The WAI 18218N carries 13 OE and aftermarket cross-references across Hitachi, Yanmar, Remy, and Unipoint. The full list is searchable in our cross-referenced catalogue. You can also search by any of the verbatim numbers shown in the specifications above, or ask Simon to look up your specific number.

Q 6. Is this part covered by your Fit Guarantee?

A. Yes. Every vehicle and OE cross-reference shown for this part is checked against manufacturer data and backed by our Fit Guarantee. If it is not right, our Fit Guarantee or hassle-free returns have you covered.

Q 7. Can I ask questions about this product before ordering?

A. Yes — ask Simon, or WhatsApp our team on 07754 288583 with any questions about specifications, suitability, or compatibility.
