Second Hand Mercedes-Benz CLE Washer Motor

Yes, the CLE has a windscreen washer system and the electric washer pump motor is a genuine part on this model. The CLE (C236 coupe, A236 cabriolet) launched in 2023 as a replacement for both the C-Class coupe and E-Class coupe, and all variants are fitted with a washer system as standard. If you are searching for a used washer motor, you are looking for the right part for this car.

The CLE has been on sale in the UK from 2023 and, at the time of writing, remains in its first generation (C236/A236) with no facelift yet confirmed, so motors from cars across that range are likely to be the same unit. That said, minor running changes can occur within a generation, so always confirm with the breaker by quoting your full registration so they can cross-reference the part number against their donor car.

Trim level does not affect the washer motor; the pump and motor assembly is determined by the generation and whether you need a front or rear unit, not by whether the car is AMG Line, AMG Line Premium, or any other trim. A used motor from a lower-spec CLE will work the same as one from a higher-spec car, though the breaker may price them differently based on donor car spec. Just confirm front or rear with your breaker and quote your registration to be safe.

The front washer pump motor is likely to be shared between the coupe (C236) and cabriolet (A236), as both share the same platform and front-end architecture, but the rear washer setup may differ since the cabriolet has a different rear arrangement to the coupe. Confirm with the breaker whether you need a front or rear motor and let them check their parts against your exact registration to be certain.

No, the engine variant makes no difference to the washer motor; this is a body and electrical component that is fitted the same way regardless of whether your CLE is a petrol, diesel, mild hybrid, or plug-in hybrid. You can look at donor cars of any engine type within the same CLE generation without concern on this point. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the part number matches.

The front washer motor sits in the washer fluid reservoir in the engine bay and feeds the windscreen jets, while a rear washer motor — if fitted — serves the rear screen or, on the cabriolet, any rear wash function. Check which washer has stopped working before contacting a breaker, and tell them specifically whether it is the front or rear unit so they can supply the correct pump. Some breakers sell the complete reservoir and pump as one assembly, so ask whether you need just the motor or the full unit.
