No two fuel pumps are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
These are from different generations — the W221 ran from 2005 to 2013, while the W222 started in 2013, so a 2010 and a 2014 S-Class use entirely different platforms with different fuel system components. Even if the engine displacement sounds similar, the pump design, mounting, and sender unit differ between generations. Always confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and give it to the breaker before agreeing any sale.
Every petrol and diesel S-Class has a fuel pump — it is an electric pump, typically submerged inside the fuel tank, that pressurises fuel to the engine. 'Electric' describes how the pump is driven, not whether one exists, so all S-Class variants across all generations (W220, W221, W222, W223) are fitted with one. Some higher-pressure secondary pumps also exist on certain direct-injection variants, so confirm with the breaker which pump you need for your specific engine code.
Trim and badge level alone do not determine fuel pump fitment — what matters is the engine code, since the S350 and S500 use completely different engines and therefore different pumps. On the W221 for example, the S350 used a 3.0-litre V6 diesel or 3.5-litre V6 petrol, while the S500 used a 5.0 or 5.5-litre V8, and the fuel delivery systems are not interchangeable between those engines. Give the breaker your full engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) rather than the badge name to get the right part.
The W221 S-Class ran from 2005 to 2013 and received a facelift around 2009, but for the fuel pump the engine code is the critical factor rather than the facelift date. If the engine code is identical on both donor and recipient cars, fitment is likely, but ancillary mounting details can sometimes change mid-production even within the same engine family. Confirm against your registration with the breaker before purchasing to avoid a wasted journey.
No — petrol and diesel fuel pumps are not interchangeable, even within the same generation. Diesel systems run at very different pressures and use different pump designs compared to petrol systems, and on some diesel variants there are additional high-pressure injection pumps on the engine itself as well as the in-tank lift pump. Always specify your fuel type and engine code when contacting a breaker.
4MATIC refers to Mercedes' four-wheel-drive system and has no bearing on the fuel pump, which is determined entirely by the engine code and fuel type. A W222 S350d with 4MATIC and one without will use the same in-tank fuel pump because the engine is identical. Provide your engine code to the breaker and you can disregard whether the donor car was 4MATIC or rear-wheel drive.
