Mercedes-Benz CLE Coil Pack Replacement Parts

Yes, but only on petrol-engined variants — petrol engines use coil packs (or individual ignition coils) to fire the spark plugs, so any petrol CLE will have them. The CLE is also offered in diesel form, and diesel engines do not use spark ignition at all, meaning there is no coil pack fitted to any diesel CLE variant. If you have a diesel CLE and are chasing an ignition-related fault, you'll want to look at glow plugs or injectors instead.

The engine code is the single most important detail — it determines not just whether a coil pack fits, but how many coils are in the pack and how they're arranged. You'll find the engine code on your V5C or via a VIN check, and it'll be something like M254 for the four-cylinder petrol or M256 for the straight-six petrol variants. Give the breaker this code directly rather than just saying '2.0 petrol,' as Mercedes have used different engine families under similar badges.

The CLE (A236/C236) is a first-generation model that arrived in the UK from 2023, replacing the C-Class Cabriolet and E-Class Coupe lineups, so it is still a very new nameplate with limited breaker stock compared to older Mercedes models. Because the generation is young, there is no facelift boundary to worry about yet, but availability of used coil packs from dismantlers will be limited and you may find that new or remanufactured parts are your most practical option. Always confirm the exact engine code with any breaker quoting you, as early production changes can sometimes affect part numbers even within a single generation.

Trim level alone does not affect coil pack fitment — what matters is the engine code underneath, not whether the car is badged AMG Line or a higher specification. However, if your CLE is a full AMG performance variant with a different engine (for example an M139 four-cylinder or a different straight-six tune), the coil pack specification may well differ from the standard petrol engines, so confirm the engine code regardless of trim. Expect cosmetic differences between donor and recipient cars when buying from a breaker, but these have no bearing on whether the ignition coil itself will work.

If the engine codes genuinely match — for example both cars carry an M254 engine — there is a reasonable chance the coil packs are compatible, as Mercedes frequently shares engine hardware across the W206 C-Class, W213 E-Class, and CLE platforms. However, ancillary mounting arrangements and connector specifications can vary between models even on the same base engine, so you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing. Never assume fitment purely on the basis of a shared engine family name without the breaker checking the specific part numbers.
