Fitment questions

Does a flywheel from an earlier CLK fit my later one, or do they change between the W208 and W209 generations?

The CLK ran as the W208 (1997–2002) and then the W209 (2002–2009), and these are entirely different platforms with different engines, so a flywheel from a W208 will not cross to a W209 — the engine codes changed between generations and the flywheel follows the engine, not the body. Within each generation, fitment depends primarily on your engine code, which you'll find on your V5 or via a VIN check. Always confirm the engine code with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Does the CLK have a flywheel, or does it use a dual-mass flywheel instead?

The Mercedes-Benz CLK was fitted with both conventional flywheels and dual-mass flywheels depending on the engine variant — diesel engines and some later petrol units typically used a dual-mass flywheel (DMF), while some earlier or simpler petrol engines used a solid flywheel. When searching for a used flywheel, be specific with the breaker about which type your car has, as the two are not interchangeable and the type is usually tied to your engine code. Your engine code is the most reliable way to confirm which flywheel you need.

Will a flywheel from a CLK 220 CDI fit my CLK 270 CDI?

Although both are diesel CLK models, the 220 CDI and 270 CDI use different engines with different engine codes, and the flywheel is matched to the engine rather than the model badge. The two are unlikely to be interchangeable, so quoting the breaker your specific engine code — not just the CDI badge — is essential. Never assume fitment based on fuel type or body style alone.

Does trim level affect which flywheel I need — for example, does an Elegance or Avantgarde spec CLK need a different flywheel?

Trim level makes no difference to flywheel fitment on the CLK — Elegance, Avantgarde, and other trim grades are cosmetic and equipment distinctions only, and the flywheel is determined entirely by the engine fitted. Two CLKs of different trims but with the same engine code will use the same flywheel. Just give the breaker your engine code and confirm your gearbox type (manual or automatic), as that can also affect which unit is correct.

My CLK is a 2001 — will a flywheel from a 2003 model fit?

A 2001 CLK is a W208, while a 2003 CLK is a W209, so these sit in different generations and the engines, along with their flywheels, changed between them. Even if the engine displacement sounds similar, the engine codes are likely different across this boundary, and a flywheel from the later generation should not be assumed to fit the earlier one. Confirm the engine code on both vehicles with the breaker before proceeding.

Does a manual and automatic CLK use the same flywheel?

No — the gearbox type directly affects the flywheel required, as a manual gearbox uses a flywheel paired with a clutch assembly, while an automatic gearbox uses a driveplate (also called a flexplate) instead of a traditional flywheel. If your CLK has an automatic gearbox, it is most likely a driveplate you need rather than a flywheel. Make sure to clarify your gearbox type with the breaker alongside your engine code so they can supply the correct part.
