Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Citan Engine Mount

The Citan comes in two distinct generations: the W415 (2012–2021), which was based on the Renault Kangoo platform, and the W420 (2021–present), which uses a different platform entirely. Engine mounts are not interchangeable across these two generations, so a mount from a W415 will not suit a W420 and vice versa. Within the same generation, fitment depends heavily on your engine code, so always confirm this from your V5 or a VIN check before buying.

The engine code is the single most important detail for this part — different engines within the same model year can use completely different mounting configurations. For example, the W415 Citan was available with both petrol and diesel engines carrying different Renault-derived engine codes, and the mounts for these are not the same. Pull your engine code from the V5 or a VIN check and give it to the breaker, as year alone is not enough to guarantee the right mount.

Body style does not affect which engine mount is fitted — the mount follows the engine and drivetrain, not whether your Citan is a panel van, Tourer, or Mixto. As long as the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type match between the donor vehicle and yours, the body style of either vehicle is irrelevant. Confirm the engine code with your breaker and the body style can be ignored entirely.

No — the W415 (2012–2021) and the W420 (2021–present) are built on different platforms with entirely different engine families, so engine mounts from the earlier generation will not cross over. This is one of the clearest boundaries in the Citan's history, and no fitment should be assumed across it. Confirm your generation by checking the model year and your engine code with the breaker before ordering.

Gearbox type can affect engine mount configuration, as some mounts also locate or brace the transmission end of the drivetrain. It is worth telling the breaker whether your Citan is manual or automatic alongside your engine code, as this helps them match the correct mount from their donor vehicle. Never assume a mount from a different gearbox variant will be a straight swap without confirming with the breaker first.

Trim level makes no difference to which engine mount is fitted — this is a mechanical part dictated entirely by the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox, not by the specification level of the van. A higher-spec Citan and a base-model Citan sharing the same engine code will use the same mount. The only cosmetic differences you might notice between vehicles of different trims are unrelated items like interior finish, and these have no bearing on the part you need.
