Choosing the right used Mercedes-Benz CLK inlet manifold
Used inlet manifolds 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:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does the Mercedes-Benz CLK actually have an inlet manifold?
Yes, all petrol-engined CLK variants have an inlet manifold, as it is a core component of any naturally aspirated or supercharged petrol engine. The diesel CLK variants (the 270 CDI and 320 CDI engines) also use an inlet manifold, though its design differs from the petrol units. So regardless of which CLK engine you have, an inlet manifold is present — the key is matching it to the correct engine code.
Will a W208 CLK inlet manifold fit a W209 CLK?
The W208 ran from 1997 to 2002 and the W209 from 2002 to 2009, and these are entirely different generations with different engine families, so the inlet manifolds are not interchangeable between them. Even where the engine displacement sounds similar — for example a 2.0 or 3.2 petrol — the engine codes differ across these generations and the manifold design follows the engine code, not the badge. Always confirm your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before ordering from a breaker.
Does it matter whether my CLK is an Avantgarde, Elegance, or Sport when buying an inlet manifold?
No — trim level has no bearing on inlet manifold fitment for the CLK. Avantgarde, Elegance, and Sport trims share the same engines within each generation, so the manifold is determined entirely by engine code, not by which trim your car is. Bear in mind the cars may have minor cosmetic differences such as different body kits or interior trim, but mechanically the inlet manifold will be the same across trims on the same engine.
I have a 2005 W209 CLK — will a manifold from an early 2003 W209 fit?
The W209 generation ran from 2002 to 2009 with a facelift in 2005, so a 2003 and a 2005 car sit either side of that facelift boundary. Whether the inlet manifold interchanges across that facelift point depends on the specific engine code — the engine code on both donor and recipient must match. Confirm the engine codes of both vehicles with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary and mounting details can change at facelift points even on the same named engine.
Does the engine code really matter more than the year for a CLK inlet manifold?
Yes, absolutely — the engine code is the single most reliable guide to inlet manifold fitment, more so than the model year or even the generation. Mercedes used the same engine codes across different years and sometimes across different models, and conversely made running changes within a single year, so two CLKs from the same year can require different manifolds if they have different engine codes. You can find your engine code on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker will get you a far more accurate match than year alone.
Will a CLK inlet manifold from a diesel model fit my petrol CLK?
No — diesel and petrol inlet manifolds are completely different in design and are not interchangeable. Petrol engines mix air and fuel before or at the intake valves, while diesel inlet manifolds deal with air only and are built to entirely different specifications. Always confirm your fuel type and engine code with the breaker to ensure you are quoted the correct manifold for your specific CLK.
