A used dual mass flywheel that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
Yes, the V-Class has been fitted with a dual mass flywheel (DMF) across its diesel variants, which make up the vast majority of V-Class engines sold in the UK — these include the OM651 and OM654 diesel engine families used in the W447 generation (2014-onwards). Because the V-Class is almost exclusively diesel in the UK market, the DMF is a standard component connecting the engine to the manual or automatic transmission. If you have a rare petrol or plug-in hybrid variant, confirm with the breaker whether a DMF is fitted to your specific engine before ordering.
Both years fall within the W447 generation (2014-onwards), but Mercedes introduced the updated OM654 engine family in the W447 facelift around 2019, replacing the earlier OM651 unit — so a 2016 car is very likely OM651 and a 2020 car is very likely OM654, meaning the DMFs are not the same part. Your engine code, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check, is the single most reliable way to confirm compatibility. Always confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
Trim and badge level do not affect DMF fitment — what matters is the engine code, not whether the car is badged V220 d, V250 d, or V300 d. Different badges can share the same underlying engine code, or the same badge may have used different engine variants across model years, so always lead with the engine code rather than the badge. Supply your engine code to the breaker and they can match the correct DMF regardless of trim designation.
Yes, gearbox type matters significantly — the DMF for a manual gearbox is a different part to one paired with an automatic transmission, as they have different spigot dimensions and flywheel ring gear configurations. The V-Class W447 has been offered with both 7-speed automatic and manual gearbox options in the UK, so confirm which you have before approaching a breaker. Tell the breaker both your engine code and your gearbox type to ensure the correct DMF is sourced.
The W447 generation runs from 2014, with a facelift arriving around 2019 that brought changes including the newer OM654 engine replacing the OM651 in most variants — so a pre-facelift and post-facelift car will often have different engines and therefore different DMFs. Even if both cars share the same engine code, there can be ancillary and mounting changes mid-production that affect compatibility. Name the generation boundary and your engine code to the breaker, and ask them to confirm fitment against your specific registration before committing to the part.
The most important detail is your engine code, which appears on your V5C logbook or can be retrieved via a VIN decoder — this tells the breaker exactly which DMF family your car needs. You should also have your gearbox type (manual or automatic) and the year of your vehicle ready, as these narrow down the correct part further. Your full registration number allows a good breaker to cross-reference everything directly, giving you the best chance of getting a correctly matched used DMF.
