Choosing the right used Mercedes-Benz ML crankshaft
Used crankshafts 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:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does every Mercedes-Benz ML have a crankshaft?
Yes — the crankshaft is a core internal engine component present in every ML variant across all three generations (W163 1998–2005, W164 2005–2011, W166 2011–2019), whether petrol or diesel, because it converts piston movement into rotational power in every reciprocating internal-combustion engine. There is no ML variant that was ever built without one. So whatever engine your ML has, you definitely need a crankshaft when sourcing this part.
Will a crankshaft from a 2006 ML fit my 2010 ML?
Both years fall within the W164 generation (2005–2011), so you are within the same platform, but fitment is determined by engine code rather than year or generation alone — a 272 petrol crank will not fit a 642 diesel, for example. Share your exact engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) with the breaker so they can match it precisely. Never assume two same-generation MLs share a crank without confirming the engine codes match.
Can I use a crankshaft from a W163 ML (pre-2005) in my W164 ML (2005 onwards)?
The W163 and W164 are completely different generations with different engine families, so crossing that 2005 generation boundary makes an interchange very unlikely — engine codes, block dimensions, and bearing sizes all changed. Name the engine code from each vehicle when speaking to a breaker, as that is the only reliable way to establish whether any overlap exists. Do not assume fitment based on fuel type or displacement alone.
Does it matter whether my ML is an ML270, ML320 or ML350 when sourcing a crankshaft?
The badge (270, 320, 350 etc.) points you broadly toward the engine family, but what truly matters is the specific engine code stamped on the block, which you can confirm via your V5 or a VIN check. Two MLs badged identically can carry different engine codes depending on market or production date, and the crankshaft must match the code exactly. Give the breaker the engine code rather than just the badge and they will be able to confirm the correct part.
Does the trim level — for example Sport, SE or AMG Line — affect which crankshaft I need?
No — trim level has no bearing whatsoever on crankshaft fitment; Sport, SE, AMG Line and any other trim designation are cosmetic and equipment distinctions, not mechanical ones. The crankshaft follows the engine code exclusively, so two MLs on different trims but sharing the same engine code will use the same crank. Focus entirely on matching engine codes with the breaker and ignore trim badges when searching for this part.
Does a diesel ML crankshaft interchange with a petrol ML crankshaft of the same generation?
No — diesel and petrol engines have fundamentally different internal architectures, compression ratios, bore and stroke dimensions, and bearing specifications, so their crankshafts are not interchangeable even within the same generation. For example, a W164 ML320 CDI (642 engine code) crank is entirely different from a W164 ML350 petrol (272 engine code) crank. Always tell the breaker both your fuel type and your engine code to avoid any mismatch.
