Used sumps 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:
The CLK ran as a single generation from 1997 to 2002 (the W208), then was replaced by the W209 generation from 2002 to 2009, with a facelift of the W209 arriving around 2005. The sump follows the engine code, not the model year, so if both cars share the same engine code your chances of a direct fit are strong within the same generation, but crossing the W208-to-W209 boundary is a different matter entirely and you should confirm compatibility against your registration with the breaker before ordering.
The CLK 200 and CLK 230 Kompressor both used four-cylinder petrol engines in the W208 and W209 generations, but they are different engine families with different engine codes, so the sumps are not automatically interchangeable. Always supply your engine code — found on your V5C or via a VIN check — to the breaker so they can match the part precisely rather than going by badge alone.
Avantgarde and Elegance are trim levels on the CLK that affect interior specification, exterior styling, and optional equipment, but they do not change the engine or drivetrain, so if both cars share the same engine code the sump will be the same part. Trim level makes no difference to sump fitment whatsoever, so focus on matching engine codes and fuel type with your breaker rather than worrying about which trim the donor car came from.
No — diesel and petrol engines are completely different units with different block designs, so their sumps are not interchangeable even if the cars are the same age and generation. Always confirm to your breaker whether your CLK is petrol or diesel alongside the engine code, as this is one of the most fundamental fitment details for any mechanical component.
For most CLK applications the sump fits the engine block itself, so manual and automatic gearboxes do not directly change which engine sump you need; however, some engine and transmission combinations can involve ancillary differences around the bottom of the engine. To be safe, let your breaker know whether your CLK has a manual or automatic gearbox alongside your engine code, and ask them to confirm there are no mounting or pick-up pipe differences on the specific unit they have.
A 2004 CLK is a W209, as that generation ran from 2002 to 2009; the earlier W208 generation ended in 2002. It matters very much for the sump because the W208 and W209 use different engine families, so a sump from a W208 donor is unlikely to be correct for your W209, and you should always confirm fitment against your exact engine code and registration with the breaker.
