A used brake that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The CLK ran across two main generations: the W208 (1997–2002) and the W209 (2002–2009), with the W209 receiving a facelift in 2005. Brakes are not interchangeable between the W208 and W209, so always confirm which generation your car is when contacting a breaker — your registration will confirm this instantly.
The W209 facelift in 2005 was primarily cosmetic, and in many cases the brake components carry over, but there were mid-generation brake specification changes on some variants that mean you should confirm fitment against your registration with the breaker rather than assume a pre-facelift part will simply bolt on.
Yes, engine size matters — larger, more powerful CLK engines such as the CLK 500 and CLK 55 AMG typically ran bigger brake discs and callipers compared to smaller-engined models like the CLK 200 or CLK 220 CDI. When contacting a breaker, give them your exact engine size or registration so they can match the correct specification rather than just the CLK model name.
Trim level alone — Elegance, Avantgarde, or AMG Sport badging — does not in itself determine the brake specification; what matters is the engine fitted to that car. That said, AMG Sport and higher-specification cars sometimes carried uprated brake packages, so confirm against your registration with the breaker rather than relying on trim name alone.
No — the W208 and W209 are distinct generations with different underpinnings, and brake components from a W208 should not be assumed to fit a W209. Always source brakes matched to the correct generation, and give the breaker your registration to be certain.
For callipers and any rear handbrake mechanisms, side absolutely matters — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) are handed components and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, and double-check against your registration to confirm the full brake specification for your engine variant.
