Fitment on a used cylinder head varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The W246 B-Class ran from 2012 to 2018, with a facelift in 2015, so a 2013 donor and a 2016 car sit either side of that facelift boundary. The engine code is the critical factor here — if both cars share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), the head itself may well be the same casting, but ancillary and mounting changes introduced around the 2015 facelift mean you should confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration before buying.
The badge — B180 or B200 — reflects a state of tune rather than a fundamentally different engine family, and in some model years these variants share the same engine code and therefore the same cylinder head. Check the engine code on your V5 or a VIN check rather than relying on the badge, and give that code to the breaker so they can match it precisely.
The cylinder head itself is tied to the engine code, not to whether your car has a manual or 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox. That said, it is worth mentioning your gearbox type to the breaker, because it can help them identify the correct ancillary components if they are supplying the head as part of a package.
No, trim level makes no difference to cylinder head fitment on the W246 B-Class — Sport, SE, and AMG Line are cosmetic and equipment packages built around the same engine options. What matters is the engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and model year; supply those details to the breaker and the trim level can be ignored for this part.
The engine code already encodes the fact that it is a diesel and the specific displacement and tune, so it is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker. On the W246 B-Class the common diesel engine codes include the OM651 family used in the B200 CDI and B220 CDI variants, but always read the code directly from your V5 or a VIN report rather than relying on the badge, as specifications changed across the 2012–2018 production run.
Yes, the W246 generation ran from 2012 to 2018, so a 2018 car is a late example of that generation and cylinder heads from earlier W246 engines with a matching engine code are potentially suitable. However, confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as late-production cars can carry detail changes to ancillary components that are not always obvious from the year alone.
