Used clutch slave cylinders vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — every generation of the Mercedes-Benz ML (W163, W164, and W166) was sold exclusively with automatic gearboxes in the UK market, so none of them have a clutch or a clutch slave cylinder. If you are hunting for a hydraulic component related to fluid pressure, you may be thinking of the brake master cylinder, a brake caliper, or possibly a transfer case actuator. Double-check your V5 or a VIN check and confirm the exact part you need with a breaker before ordering.
It is very unlikely to be relevant to your vehicle, as the W164 ML (2005–2011) used automatic transmission only and was never fitted with a manual gearbox or clutch system in standard UK specification. Any listing describing a clutch slave cylinder for an ML should be treated with caution, as it may be mislabelled or intended for a different Mercedes-Benz model altogether. We would recommend querying the listing directly with the breaker and quoting your full registration or VIN to avoid receiving the wrong part.
The most commonly confused parts are the brake master cylinder, the clutch master or slave cylinder from a manual-gearbox Mercedes (such as the C-Class or Sprinter), or transfer case and air suspension components on the ML. If you are experiencing a spongy pedal or fluid loss, the brake master cylinder or a brake caliper is the more likely culprit on an ML. Describe your symptoms clearly to your breaker, quoting your engine code from the V5, so they can identify the correct part for your specific variant.
For genuine hydraulic brake or suspension components, trim level does not affect fitment on the ML — Sport, SE, and AMG Line are broadly the same vehicle mechanically, with differences limited to cosmetics, alloy wheels, and interior specification. What does matter is your engine code and year, as these determine which brake master cylinder, calipers, or other hydraulic parts were fitted. Always quote your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) when contacting a breaker, rather than relying on trim name alone.
No — the W163 (1997–2005) and W164 (2005–2011) are entirely different generations with different platforms, so brake master cylinders and other hydraulic components do not cross over between them. Each generation requires its own parts, and even within the W164 there were running changes, so your engine code and exact model year are essential when speaking to a breaker. Confirm fitment directly with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming year-to-year compatibility.
