Used air filters vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Yes, every CLK variant has an air filter regardless of engine or fuel type, because all internal combustion engines need filtered air to run. The CLK was available with petrol and diesel engines across both generations, and all of them use an air filter as standard. You just need to match the filter to the correct engine, not the body style or trim.
The W208 ran from 1997 to 2002 and the W209 from 2002 to 2009, and these are distinct generations with different engine bay layouts, so the air filter housing and filter element are not the same. Even where the engine code carried across between generations, the airbox design changed, so a direct swap is unlikely to work. Always quote your engine code and registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct filter for your specific car.
The W209 received a facelift in 2005, but the air filter fitment is determined by the engine code rather than the facelift date. If your 2002 and 2005 cars share the same engine code, the filter is very likely to be the same, but there can be ancillary or housing changes mid-production that are not always obvious. Confirm against your registration and engine code with the breaker to be certain before buying.
No, trim level has no bearing on the air filter — Avantgarde, Elegance, and Sport are cosmetic and equipment packages, not separate mechanical specifications. What determines the correct air filter is the engine code, so a CLK 200 Kompressor Avantgarde and a CLK 200 Kompressor Elegance of the same generation will use the same filter. Focus on supplying your engine code and year to the breaker rather than your trim name.
No, the diesel and petrol engines in the CLK have different airbox and filter designs, so a filter from a petrol variant will not fit a CDI engine. The 220 CDI has its own engine code (OM646 in the W209 generation) and you need a filter matched to that specific unit. Always give the breaker your engine code alongside your registration to make sure you get the right part.
Body style does not affect air filter fitment — the filter is determined entirely by the engine code, and the same engine used in the CLK Coupe and CLK Cabriolet will use the same filter element and airbox. You do not need to specify body style when sourcing this part. Simply confirm the engine code and year with the breaker and the body style of the donor car is irrelevant.
