Mercedes-Benz GLB Flywheel Replacement Parts

It depends on the gearbox fitted to your GLB. Manual-gearbox variants use a traditional solid flywheel, while the far more common dual-clutch automatic (DCT) variants use a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) instead — so the vast majority of GLBs on UK roads will have a dual-mass flywheel rather than a conventional one. If you are unsure which you have, check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm the gearbox type before sourcing a part.

The Mercedes-Benz GLB was launched in 2019 and received a facelift in 2023, so a 2020 car is pre-facelift and a 2023 car sits at the facelift boundary — this is the point where ancillary and mounting changes are most likely to occur. The most important thing to match is the engine code, which you will find on your V5 or via a VIN check, followed by the gearbox type. Confirm directly with the breaker that a pre-facelift flywheel is compatible with your specific registration before purchasing.

The engine code matters far more than the year — the GLB was offered with multiple petrol and diesel engines across the same model years, and each engine has its own flywheel specification. Two GLBs built in the same year can require completely different flywheels if they carry different engine codes. Find your engine code on the V5 or a VIN check and give it to the breaker; this single detail is the most useful thing you can supply.

No — trim level has no bearing on flywheel fitment whatsoever. Sport, AMG Line, and AMG Line Premium are trim grades that reflect interior and exterior specification, not drivetrain differences. What matters is the engine code and gearbox type, both of which can be confirmed from your V5 or a VIN check.

Yes, fuel type matters because the petrol and diesel engines in the GLB range carry different engine codes and have different flywheel specifications — a diesel flywheel will not be correct for a petrol engine and vice versa. Always give the breaker your exact engine code alongside the fuel type to ensure the right part is sourced. Running a VIN check is the quickest way to confirm both details if you are unsure.

The 200d and 220d badges indicate different engine variants with different engine codes, and flywheels are matched to the engine rather than the badge — so these are unlikely to be interchangeable. Supply the breaker with the precise engine codes for both vehicles rather than relying on the badge alone. Confirm compatibility directly with the breaker against your specific registration before ordering.
