Used Mercedes-Benz CLE Intercooler

Yes, but only on the turbocharged petrol and diesel engine variants — all CLE engines are turbocharged, so every CLE has an intercooler as standard. The CLE (C236 coupé, A236 cabriolet) launched in 2023 as a single-generation model to date, replacing both the C-Class and E-Class coupé and cabriolet lines. If you're unsure which engine you have, your V5 or a VIN check will confirm the engine code, which is the most important detail to have before sourcing a replacement.

The CLE launched in 2023 and as of 2025 remains within its first generation (C236/A236) with no confirmed facelift yet, so the engine family is consistent across those years. That said, the intercooler that fits your car is governed primarily by your engine code — a CLE 200 (M254 four-cylinder petrol), CLE 300 (M254), or CLE 220d (OM654 diesel) each uses a different unit, so you must match on engine code rather than year alone. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be safe, particularly around any ancillary bracket or mounting differences that may have been introduced mid-production.

Body style — coupé or cabriolet — does not affect which intercooler is fitted; the intercooler follows the engine, not the roof. A CLE 300 coupé and a CLE 300 cabriolet share the same engine code (M254) and will use the same intercooler. Match on engine code and fuel type, and the body style can be ignored entirely when searching.

Trim level — whether that's AMG Line, AMG Line Premium, or AMG Line Premium Plus — has no bearing on the intercooler fitted; what matters is the engine code. The full-fat Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 uses a different engine (M256 inline-six with EQ Boost mild hybrid) to the four-cylinder CLE 200 or CLE 300, so the intercooler will differ between those variants, but that's an engine difference, not a trim difference. Always confirm your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before asking a breaker for a quote.

The CLE 220d uses the OM654 diesel engine, and you should match any replacement intercooler to that engine code specifically. Within the current CLE generation there has been no confirmed engine variant change for the 220d, so year-to-year fitment across 2023–2025 cars is likely consistent — but confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary and pipe routing details can vary mid-production without a formal facelift. A diesel intercooler from a petrol CLE variant will not be suitable, so always specify fuel type and engine code when requesting quotes.

The CLE shares engines with the W206 C-Class and W213 E-Class — for example, the M254 petrol and OM654 diesel appear across all three — so there is a genuine possibility of cross-model intercooler compatibility. However, packaging, pipe routing, and mounting points can differ between platforms even with a shared engine code, so do not assume a direct swap without checking. Give the breaker your CLE's engine code and registration and ask them to verify the part number against your specific application before purchasing.
