A used flywheel 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:
No — the flywheel is matched to the engine, and diesel and petrol engines use different flywheels with different mass, bolt patterns, and starter ring dimensions. You must match on fuel type as a minimum, and ideally on the full engine code. Always supply your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) when requesting a quote from a breaker.
The W204 ran from 2007 to 2014 and the W205 from 2014 onwards, and these are distinct generations with different engine families, so a direct swap across that boundary is unlikely even if the engine displacement looks similar. The engine code is the definitive guide here — if both cars share the same engine code, there is a stronger case for compatibility, but confirm this with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. Never assume generation-to-generation fitment without verification.
Whether a C-Class has a traditional flywheel depends on the gearbox type — manual-gearbox variants use a solid flywheel (or dual-mass flywheel on many diesel and later petrol units), while automatic-gearbox variants use a driveplate (flexplate) instead of a flywheel. If your C-Class has an automatic gearbox, you need to search for a driveplate or flexplate, not a flywheel. Check your gearbox type before ordering to make sure you are asking breakers for the correct part.
No — the trim level makes no difference whatsoever to flywheel fitment on the C-Class. AMG Line, SE, Sport, Avantgarde, and Elegance are cosmetic and equipment packages, not mechanical ones, so two C220d models of the same year and gearbox type will use the same flywheel regardless of trim. Focus your search on matching the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, and ignore the trim name entirely.
Both years sit within the W204 generation (2007–2014, with a facelift in 2011), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match. However, ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production even within a generation, so you should confirm fitment with the breaker against your specific registration rather than relying on the generation boundary alone. Providing your engine code gives the breaker the best chance of finding a confirmed match.
Yes — if your car was fitted with a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) from the factory, you must replace it with the correct dual-mass unit rather than a standard solid flywheel, as the engine management and clutch setup are calibrated around it. DMFs are common on C-Class diesel engines and some later petrols, and mixing types can cause vibration, noise, and clutch wear. Confirm with the breaker that the used unit they supply is the correct type for your engine code, as DMF specification can vary even within the same engine family.
