Used dual mass flywheels 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:
Yes, the Mercedes-Benz CLS is fitted with a dual mass flywheel on its diesel and manual or automatic transmission variants — the DMF is used across the diesel engine range (such as the 320 CDI, 350 CDI, and 250 CDI units) and is a standard component on these drivetrains to dampen vibration between the engine and gearbox. Petrol-engined CLS models also used DMFs in combination with their automatic transmissions. So if your CLS is diesel or has an automatic gearbox, it is very likely to have one — confirm the exact application with the breaker against your registration.
The W219 (first generation, 2004–2010) and C218 (second generation, 2011–2018) are distinct platforms with different engines and bellhousing arrangements, so a DMF from one generation will not generally interchange with the other. The engine code is the critical detail here — even where the same engine family was carried across, there were updates to ancillary components and mounting specifications. Name the generation and supply your engine code to the breaker so they can confirm compatibility rather than relying on year alone.
The C218 ran from 2011 to 2018 with a facelift introduced in 2014, and while the engine codes were largely carried over across that facelift, there can be mid-production changes to ancillary and mounting specifications that affect DMF fitment. The engine code stamped on your V5 or returned by a VIN check is the most reliable guide — if the code matches, fitment is more likely, but whether specific changes were made at the 2014 facelift boundary on your exact engine variant is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration.
Trim level does not affect dual mass flywheel fitment — the DMF follows the engine and gearbox combination, not the badge or interior specification. An AMG Line, SE, or Sport CLS with the same engine code will use the same flywheel. Bear in mind that some AMG Line or higher-spec cars may have cosmetic engine bay differences, but the DMF itself is determined purely by the drivetrain.
The single most useful piece of information is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — this identifies the exact engine variant and is far more reliable than quoting the year or badge alone. You should also confirm your gearbox type (manual or automatic), as this can affect DMF specification. Providing your full registration to the breaker allows them to cross-reference the exact build and flag any mid-production changes that may apply to your vehicle.
DMFs are most commonly associated with the diesel variants of the CLS, such as the 250 CDI, 320 CDI, and 350 CDI, where they are standard fitment to manage the greater vibration characteristics of diesel engines. Petrol-engined CLS models with automatic gearboxes also used dual mass flywheel assemblies as part of the drivetrain setup. Whether your specific petrol engine variant uses a DMF is best confirmed with the breaker using your engine code and registration, as specifications can vary across the engine range.
