Fitment questions
Does a water pump from a 2002 CLK fit a 2005 CLK?
The Mercedes-Benz CLK W208 ran from 1997 to 2002, and the W209 generation ran from 2002 to 2009, so a 2002 and a 2005 CLK are from different generations and the water pump is very unlikely to interchange directly. Even within a generation, fitment depends primarily on engine code rather than year alone, so two cars with different engines won't share a pump even if the years are close. Always match on engine code first — check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm yours — then ask the breaker to verify the part against your registration before buying.
Will a water pump from a CLK 200 fit a CLK 320?
No — the CLK 200 and CLK 320 use completely different engines, and the water pump is engine-specific, so these won't interchange. The CLK 200 Kompressor uses a four-cylinder supercharged unit while the CLK 320 uses a V6, meaning the pump design, mounting, and dimensions differ. Identify your exact engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply that to the breaker, as this is the single most useful detail for sourcing the correct pump.
Does trim level affect which water pump I need — for example, does an Avantgarde need a different pump to an Elegance?
No — Avantgarde, Elegance, and Sport are trim levels that relate to equipment, styling, and interior specification, none of which affect the water pump fitment. What matters is the engine code, fuel type, and which generation of CLK you have (W208 1997–2002 or W209 2002–2009). Two CLKs with the same engine code will need the same water pump regardless of which trim badge is on the car.
I have a 2003 CLK — is that the facelift model, and does it matter for the water pump?
The W209 CLK launched in 2002 and received a facelift in 2005, so a 2003 car is the pre-facelift W209. For the water pump, the facelift is largely cosmetic and suspension/equipment related, so it doesn't automatically mean a different pump — engine code is still the deciding factor. However, ancillary and mounting changes can sometimes occur mid-production, so confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure the pump you're buying matches your exact build.
Does the Mercedes CLK actually have a water pump — I've heard some modern engines don't?
Yes, all variants of the Mercedes-Benz CLK — whether the W208 (1997–2002) or W209 (2002–2009) — use conventional belt or chain-driven mechanical water pumps as part of the engine cooling system, so this is a genuine and commonly replaced part on these cars. Both petrol and diesel engine variants of the CLK are fitted with a water pump, though the specific pump design differs by engine code. Make sure you identify your engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before approaching a breaker, as pumps are not interchangeable across different engines.
Can I use a water pump from a diesel CLK on a petrol CLK?
No — diesel and petrol engines have fundamentally different cooling system designs and the water pumps are not interchangeable between fuel types. Even within the same generation, the pump dimensions, drive method, and mounting points differ between a diesel engine such as the 270 CDI and a petrol unit such as the 200 Kompressor or 500. Always specify your fuel type and engine code when contacting a breaker to avoid being sold an incompatible part.
