Outlander front motor teardown

[Bigpie]

Just had been tearing down the front motor of the pair attached to the gearbox from an outlander, main aim was to see if I could retrieve one of the thermistors. Plan B might be to lay the stator in a bath of oil and heat it and take readings instead.

Is there anyway to determine pole count from the photos?

Just to clarify: Is this front motor a synchronous(with PMs on or in the rotor) motor or is it an asynchronous(induction) motor with no magnets on or in the rotor?

The rotor has magnets in there. I've not yet reassembled if there's anything you want to know or further photos.

You should be able to figure out how many poles it is with some metal filings.
