A used radiator fan that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
It depends on the engine. Most B-Class variants use an electric auxiliary cooling fan mounted in front of the radiator, so yes, the part exists — but purely electric or hybrid drivetrain variants may manage cooling differently and may not use the same fan assembly. Check your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) and confirm with the breaker that a conventional radiator fan applies to your specific variant before ordering.
These are entirely different generations with different engine families, cooling system layouts, and mounting arrangements, so a straight swap across the W245 and W246 boundary is very unlikely. The W246 also received a facelift around 2014 which may have brought further ancillary changes. Treat them as non-interchangeable and confirm against your exact registration and engine code with the breaker.
Both sit within the W246 generation (2012–2018), but the facelift arrived around 2014 and can bring changes to cooling system ancillaries even where the core engine code is shared. Your engine code is the most reliable guide — supply it to the breaker so they can cross-reference whether the fan assembly from a pre- or post-facelift car is a match for yours.
Trim level — SE, Sport, AMG Line, or any other — does not affect which radiator fan is fitted; the fan follows the engine, not the badge or trim. A B180 SE and a B180 AMG Line share the same engine code and will use the same fan assembly. Focus on matching the engine code rather than the trim name when sourcing a used fan from a breaker.
Yes, fuel type can matter because petrol and diesel engines within the same generation may have different cooling demands and fan specifications. Always tell the breaker both your fuel type and your engine code — the engine code (visible on your V5 or from a VIN check) is the single most useful piece of information for confirming the right fan for your car.
Even within the same W246 generation (2012–2018), diesel and petrol variants can use different fan assemblies due to differing cooling requirements, so this is not a straightforward swap. Supply your exact engine code to the breaker — they can check whether the specific part numbers cross-reference between the two engine types before you commit to buying.
