Used throttle bodys 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:
It depends entirely on the engine. Petrol-engined CLKs (both the W208 generation from 1997–2002 and the W209 generation from 2002–2009) do use a throttle body as part of their intake system, so a used unit is a legitimate thing to search for. Diesel CLKs, however, do not use a conventional throttle body in the same way — if you have a diesel variant, confirm with the breaker what you actually need, as the fuelling system works differently.
These are from different generations — the W208 ran from 1997 to 2002 and the W209 from 2002 to 2009 — so a straight swap across that boundary is unlikely without checking further. The engine code is the key detail here: a 2000 CLK 200 Kompressor and a 2004 CLK 200 Kompressor may share similar supercharged four-cylinder architecture, but the throttle body design, fixings, and any electronic connections may differ. Confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and give it to the breaker before agreeing a purchase.
Trim level does not affect throttle body fitment — Elegance, Avantgarde, and Sport trims are purely cosmetic and equipment-based differences that have no bearing on the engine or its intake components. What matters is your engine code, fuel type, and model year, not the badge on the boot. A breaker may quote from any trim-level donor car and the part will be the same, so don't be put off if they can't confirm the specific trim the donor vehicle was.
Both are supercharged four-cylinder petrol engines in the same CLK family, but the displacement and engine codes differ, which means the throttle body specification may not be identical. Check the exact engine code stamped on your block or listed on your V5 — the CLK 200 Kompressor and CLK 230 Kompressor carry different codes — and supply that to the breaker rather than relying on the badge alone. Never assume two similarly-named supercharged engines share components without the breaker confirming against your specific registration.
Both are naturally aspirated V6 petrol engines within the same W209 generation (2002–2009), so there is a reasonable chance of commonality, but the engine codes for the 240 and 320 are different and Mercedes did use different throttle body sizes and specifications across the V6 range. Give the breaker both engine codes and your registration so they can cross-reference before you commit. Do not assume the fit based on the generation alone.
This is something you should confirm directly with the breaker or your fitting garage, as ECU pairing and any immobiliser or adaptation requirements can vary by engine variant and the specific unit you are fitting. What is clear is that the mechanical fitment — whether the unit physically bolts on and connects — comes down to the engine code, year, and fuel type. For the electronics side, ask your breaker at the point of enquiry so you can factor any extra work into your decision.
