Second Hand Mercedes-Benz EQA Radiator

The Mercedes-Benz EQA (H243) launched in the UK in 2021 and has continued in production from that point, with a facelift introduced for the 2024 model year. For a purely mechanical component like the radiator, the critical detail is the motor or drivetrain code rather than the model year alone, so always quote your exact registration or VIN to the breaker. Whether a radiator from a pre-facelift car crosses over to a post-2024 facelift car is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary and mounting details can change at a facelift point.

2021 and 2024 EQAs sit either side of the 2024 facelift boundary for the H243 generation, and while the fundamental architecture is shared, mounting brackets and ancillary connections can change at a facelift. Name that boundary to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference the part against your specific VIN, as we cannot guarantee fitment across that divide. Supplying your registration or full VIN gives the breaker the best chance of confirming compatibility before anything is dispatched.

Trim level and badge name do not themselves affect radiator fitment, but the drivetrain configuration very much does — the EQA 250 is a single front-motor setup while the EQA 300 4MATIC adds a rear motor, and the thermal management demands differ between them. Treat the drivetrain variant (250, 300 4MATIC, 350 4MATIC) as the primary matching criterion, not any cosmetic or equipment grade. Always confirm the exact variant and production date with the breaker against your registration to be sure the part is the right one.

The EQA 250+ is a longer-range version of the single front-motor layout and shares its basic drivetrain architecture with the standard EQA 250, but battery and thermal management revisions mean the cooling circuit may not be identical. Quote your full VIN to the breaker so they can confirm whether the radiator from a 250 donor car is a direct match for a 250+ or vice versa. Never assume the '+' suffix is purely a software or battery-capacity distinction when it comes to cooling hardware.

A 2022 registration is a useful starting point, but the breaker will ideally need your full VIN or registration number to identify the precise drivetrain variant (for example EQA 250 or 300 4MATIC) and any mid-year production changes that affect cooling components. The EQA's V5C or a free VIN check will confirm the motor and drivetrain details that matter most for fitment. Giving the breaker that level of detail upfront avoids delays and reduces the risk of receiving an incompatible part.

For the radiator itself, the NS/OS (nearside/offside) distinction is not the primary fitment variable — the drivetrain variant and production date matter far more, and UK right-hand-drive EQAs of the same spec should share the same radiator. However, confirm with the breaker that the donor car's registration is also a UK-specification vehicle, as EU-market left-hand-drive cars could in principle have different ancillary routing. Always cross-reference by VIN rather than assuming UK spec from the steering position alone.
