Used Mercedes-Benz GLB Air Conditioning Condenser

The Mercedes-Benz GLB (X247) launched in 2020 and received a facelift in 2023, so a 2020 and a 2022 car are both pre-facelift examples within the same generation — which is a good starting point for compatibility. That said, your engine code matters most here, so make sure both vehicles share the same engine code before assuming the condenser will cross over. Supply your registration and engine code to the breaker so they can confirm the part against your specific car.

The GLB X247 received its facelift in 2023, and there can be changes to front-end components — including how cooling parts mount and connect — across that boundary. Because ancillary and mounting changes mid-production are difficult to confirm without checking against your specific registration, you should not assume a post-facelift condenser will drop straight in to a pre-facelift car. Route this question to the breaker, giving them both the donor vehicle's registration and your own, so they can compare the parts directly.

Yes — the GLB is fitted with air conditioning as standard across its range, and all variants with air conditioning use an AC condenser, which is mounted at the front of the car ahead of the radiator. This applies whether your GLB is a petrol or diesel, manual or automatic, and regardless of whether it has standard Climate Control or the dual-zone setup found on higher trims. So this is a genuine part on the GLB and a used one from a breaker is a legitimate repair option.

No — trim level does not affect condenser fitment on the GLB; an SE, AMG Line, or AMG Line Premium car with the same engine code will use the same condenser. Trim differences relate to interior specification, cosmetic features, and technology, none of which change the AC condenser itself. Focus on matching the engine code and fuel type, and confirm the part against your registration with the breaker.

Engine code is the single most important detail for confirming condenser fitment — it tells the breaker far more than the badge or fuel type alone. The GLB is offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, and while many condensers may be shared across variants, the engine code on your V5 or from a VIN check is the most reliable way to ensure the donor part matches. Give the breaker your engine code and registration so they can check the specific part number against your car.

The 200 is a petrol and the 220d is a diesel, and these use different engine families — so you should not assume the condensers are interchangeable even though both cars sit within the same X247 generation. The engine code, rather than the model badge, is what determines the correct part, and these two variants have different codes. Share both the donor registration and your own with a breaker so they can confirm whether the condenser dimensions and connections are actually the same before you buy.
