Second Hand Mercedes-Benz CLE Oil Cooler

Yes, all current CLE variants are fitted with turbocharged engines, and turbocharged petrol and diesel engines of this type typically include an oil cooler to manage thermal loads. The CLE (introduced 2023) uses engines from the M254 petrol and OM654 diesel families, all of which are force-fed and generate enough heat to warrant oil cooling. If you are unsure whether your specific engine variant carries a cooler, confirm with the breaker against your registration.

The CLE launched as an entirely new generation in 2023, replacing the C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet, and no facelift has been confirmed within this generation as of mid-2025, so early production cars share the same generation. Fitment is primarily governed by engine code rather than model year alone, so a cooler from a same-engine-code car is the most reliable match. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as ancillary and mounting details can change quietly mid-production.

No, body style does not affect oil cooler fitment — the cooler is tied to the engine, not whether the roof is fixed or folding. A CLE Coupe and CLE Cabriolet sharing the same engine code should use the same oil cooler. Focus on matching the engine code, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check, and supply that to the breaker.

No, the 220d is a diesel (OM654 family) and the 300 is a petrol (M254 family), and these engines have different oil cooler designs that are not interchangeable. Fuel type and engine code are the two most important details for this part, so always match both. Give the breaker your engine code — stamped on the engine block and listed on your V5C — to ensure a correct match.

No, trim level has no bearing on oil cooler fitment on the CLE — AMG Line, Avantgarde, and any other trim designation are cosmetic and equipment packages only. The oil cooler is determined entirely by the engine code, gearbox type, and fuel type. You can therefore source from any trim variant provided the engine code matches your own.

Gearbox type can be relevant because some engine and transmission combinations route oil cooling differently, particularly where an oil-to-water heat exchanger serves both engine and gearbox circuits. All CLE models use a nine-speed automatic (9G-Tronic), so this is unlikely to create a mismatch within the CLE range itself, but if you are sourcing from a breaker who is pulling the part from a different Mercedes-Benz model, gearbox type becomes important. Always give the breaker your full engine code and confirm fitment against your registration before buying.
