Used Mercedes-Benz CLS Washer Pump

The Mercedes-Benz CLS has run across two main generations — the first generation (C219) from 2004 to 2010, and the second generation (C218) from 2011 to 2018 — and washer pumps are not expected to interchange between these generations due to differences in connector design and mounting. Within the same generation, fitment is generally consistent, but confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration before buying. A facelift arrived on the C218 around 2014, so if your car or the donor car sits either side of that year, ask the breaker to verify compatibility specifically.

No — trim level does not affect washer pump fitment on the Mercedes CLS; the pump is determined by the generation and body configuration, not whether the car is an AMG Line, Sport, or base Executive. You may find cosmetic differences around the washer jet covers depending on trim, but the pump itself should be the same within a generation. Confirm the part against your registration with the breaker to be sure.

This is a cross-generation swap — the 2009 car is a first-generation C219, while the 2012 car is a second-generation C218 — and these are not expected to be compatible due to differing connector and housing designs. You should source a pump from a C218 donor car for a 2012 CLS. Always confirm with the breaker using your registration before purchasing.

Yes, all Mercedes-Benz CLS variants across both generations are fitted with a windscreen washer pump as standard — it is not limited to particular engine or drivetrain variants. Both the saloon-style coupe and the Shooting Brake body style offered in the C218 generation have a washer pump, though the Shooting Brake may have an additional rear washer pump if it is equipped with a rear wash-wipe system. Check with your breaker whether you need the front pump, rear pump, or both, as these are separate components.

Mercedes-Benz commonly shares components across its range, and a washer pump from another model of the same era — such as a C-Class or E-Class — may well share the same part number as the CLS equivalent, particularly within the C218 generation timeframe. However, connector type and bottle fitting can vary, so this is something to confirm with the breaker rather than assume. Provide your registration and ask the breaker to cross-reference the part number before committing to a purchase.

Yes — on CLS Shooting Brake models (available within the C218 generation, 2012–2018) that are fitted with a rear wash-wipe system, there is typically a separate rear washer pump in addition to the front one, and these are not interchangeable with each other. The standard CLS Coupe does not have a rear wash-wipe, so only has a front pump. Make sure you tell the breaker whether you need the front or rear pump, and confirm which variant the donor car is.
