A used oil pump 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:
Yes, every CLK variant — whether petrol or diesel, naturally aspirated or kompressor supercharged — has a mechanically driven oil pump, so there is a genuine used market for them from dismantlers. The CLK ran across two generations: the C208 (1997–2002) and the C209 (2002–2009, with a facelift around 2005), and both generations used oil pumps specific to their engine families. Sourcing from a breaker is a practical route given the part's cost new, but you must match it correctly to your engine code rather than just the model year.
In almost all cases, no — the C208 and C209 generations used different engine families and the oil pump is designed around the internal architecture of a specific engine, not the body. Even where an engine designation looks similar across the two generations, internals and pump mounting can differ, so a C208 pump is not a safe assumption for a C209 application. Give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5 or a VIN check) and they can confirm whether any crossover actually applies to your unit.
No — body style has no bearing on oil pump fitment whatsoever. The oil pump is driven by and matched to the engine, so a pump from a CLK Cabriolet with the same engine code as your Coupe is mechanically equivalent. Focus entirely on matching the engine code and fuel type rather than whether the donor car had a folding roof.
Trim level does not affect oil pump fitment; Elegance, Avantgarde, and Sport trims fitted to the same engine are mechanically identical in this respect. The exception worth noting is the AMG variants — CLK 55 AMG and CLK 63 AMG — which have bespoke hand-built engines with their own specific oil pump, so those must be matched to other AMG donor cars with the same engine code. For any trim, tell the breaker your engine code and they will identify the correct pump without needing to know your interior specification.
These are different diesel engines with different displacements and internal architectures, so the oil pumps are not interchangeable despite both being CDI units in the same model range. The engine code is the reliable guide here — the 220 CDI and 270 CDI carried distinct codes and the pump is matched to those specifics. Always quote your engine code to the breaker rather than relying on the badge displacement alone.
The 2005 C209 facelift was primarily a cosmetic and trim update, and for most engine variants the oil pump itself was not changed at that boundary. However, ancillary mounting details and associated components can change mid-production in ways that are difficult to confirm without checking against your specific registration, so you should ask the breaker to verify compatibility against your engine code and build date rather than assuming a straightforward swap.
