Mercedes-Benz GLE Fuel Pump Replacement Parts

Yes, every GLE variant has at least one fuel pump — petrol models use a high-pressure direct-injection pump driven by the engine as well as a low-pressure in-tank lift pump, while diesel models use a high-pressure fuel injection pump alongside an in-tank supply pump. Which pump you need depends entirely on your engine code and fuel type, so make sure you know which unit has failed before requesting quotes. The engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) is the single most important detail to share with a breaker.

These sit in different generations — the W166 GLE ran from 2015 to 2019, while the V167 GLE launched for 2019 onwards — so a pump from a 2016 W166 is very unlikely to be a direct swap onto a 2020 V167 due to different engine families, fuel system architecture, and physical mounting. Even within a generation, the correct match is driven by engine code first, so confirm your exact code with the breaker before they pull the part. Never assume fitment across a generation boundary without the breaker checking your registration against the donor vehicle.

Absolutely — diesel and petrol GLE models use entirely different high-pressure pump designs, and the in-tank lift pumps also differ in flow rate and connector type, so the two are not interchangeable. Within diesel variants, codes such as the OM642 and OM656 use different injection systems, and petrol codes like the M276 and M256 likewise differ, so the engine code rather than just the fuel type is the definitive guide. Always give the breaker both your fuel type and full engine code to ensure they match the correct unit.

No — trim levels like Sport, AMG Line, and full AMG 53 or 63 variants are primarily about cosmetics, suspension tuning, and styling; the fuel pump is determined by the engine fitted, not the badge or trim pack. An AMG Line diesel with the OM656 engine needs the same pump as a Sport with the same engine code. Focus your conversation with the breaker on the engine code, fuel type, and whether your vehicle is the W166 or V167 generation, and trim level can be set aside entirely.

The GLE Coupe (C167 body) and the standard GLE SUV (V167) share the same engine family in the current generation, so the pump itself may well be the same unit if the engine codes match — body style is not a factor for this mechanical component. However, confirm with the breaker by giving them your engine code and registration, as ancillary bracket or sender unit differences can exist between body styles mid-production. The breaker checking your reg against the donor vehicle is the safest route before any purchase.

The W166 GLE (2015–2019) was replaced rather than facelifted by the all-new V167 in 2019, which brought new engine families including the inline-six M256 petrol and updated OM656 diesel, meaning the fuel pumps are generally not shared across the two generations. If your vehicle is an early W166 with, say, the M276 V6 petrol, the pump design will differ from a V167 with the M256. Share your engine code and generation with the breaker so they can source from the correct donor vehicle rather than relying on year alone.
