Fitment questions
Does the Mercedes-Benz Citan actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a prop rod?
The Citan's bonnet is supported by gas struts rather than a prop rod, so a bonnet strut is a genuine part on this model. There are two struts, one on each side of the engine bay, and both are available from breakers as used parts.
Will a bonnet strut from a 2013 Citan fit my 2017 Citan?
Both years fall within the first-generation Citan (W415), which ran from 2012 to 2021, so the platform is the same. However, the W415 received a facelift around 2016-2018 that updated the front end, and it is worth confirming with the breaker whether the strut mounting points changed at that point by quoting them your registration. Generation match is the key starting point, but let the breaker verify the exact interchange against your reg before buying.
Does it matter whether the Citan is a short-wheelbase or long-wheelbase model when buying a bonnet strut?
No — the bonnet and its supporting struts are part of the front-end structure, which is shared across wheelbase variants within the same generation. You do not need to specify short, long, or Tourer body length when sourcing a bonnet strut; generation and facelift period are what matter.
Does the trim level affect which bonnet strut I need — for example, does a Citan from an Entry or Sport trim use a different strut?
Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the Citan — Entry, SE, and Sport trims all share the same bonnet and strut setup within a generation. You may notice cosmetic differences such as badge or grille finishes on a donor vehicle, but the strut itself is the same part. Focus on generation and facelift period rather than trim when talking to a breaker.
Does engine choice matter when buying a used Citan bonnet strut?
Engine type has no bearing on bonnet strut fitment — the struts are the same whether the Citan is fitted with a petrol or diesel engine. The front-end structure and bonnet dimensions do not change between engine variants within a generation, so you do not need to mention your engine size when contacting a breaker.
How do I make sure I get the right bonnet strut when contacting a Citan breaker?
Give the breaker your full registration number so they can pinpoint your exact build date and confirm which side of any facelift update your vehicle sits on. It is also worth noting whether you need the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) strut, or both, as they are handed parts. A good breaker will cross-reference your reg against their donor vehicle to confirm compatibility before sale.
