Used Mercedes-Benz CLA Flywheel

It depends on the gearbox fitted to your specific CLA. Manual-gearbox variants have a traditional solid flywheel, while automatic and dual-clutch DCT variants use a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) instead; both types exist within the CLA range, so the answer comes down to your exact gearbox. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm which gearbox code you have before ordering.

The C117 and C118 are distinct generations with different engine and gearbox configurations, so a flywheel crossing that 2019 boundary is not a straightforward swap even if the engine code looks similar on paper. Engine code is the single most important detail for flywheel fitment, and you should confirm with the breaker against your registration whether the specific part from a C117 donor is compatible with your C118 before buying.

The engine code is the primary driver of flywheel fitment, but the year still matters because the CLA C117 received a facelift in 2016 and Mercedes made running changes to drivetrain components across the production run. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and give that to the breaker alongside your registration, as they can cross-reference the exact part number rather than relying on year alone.

Trim level makes no difference to flywheel fitment whatsoever – Sport, AMG Line, and any other trim badge on the same engine and gearbox combination will share the same flywheel. The flywheel follows the engine code and gearbox type, not the trim designation, so don't let a trim mismatch put you off a good used part from a breaker.

Manual-gearbox diesel CLAs typically use a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) rather than a solid flywheel, because the DMF helps absorb the additional vibration characteristic of diesel engines. You should confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your engine code and registration, as specifications can vary and fitting the wrong type will cause noise, vibration, and potential drivetrain damage.

The CLA 250 and CLA 200 use different engine codes – the 250 runs the M260 or M270 in higher states of tune – and even where the engine family is shared, flywheel compatibility depends on the specific engine and gearbox codes rather than the badge on the boot lid. Supply the breaker with your full engine code and gearbox code so they can verify the part numbers match before you commit to buying.
