Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Vito Clutch Slave Cylinder

Yes, but only on manual gearbox variants — the clutch slave cylinder is part of the hydraulic clutch release system and simply does not exist on Vito models fitted with an automatic gearbox. If your Vito is automatic, you do not have this part; if you are chasing a clutch-related fault on an auto, confirm with a breaker or mechanic what the actual component in question is.

The Vito has run across three main generations: the W638 (1996–2003), the W639 (2003–2014), and the W447 (2014–present). Manual gearbox options were available across the W638 and W639 generations, making clutch slave cylinders relevant to those; the W447 generation moved predominantly to automatic transmissions, so confirm with the breaker whether a manual-equipped W447 example exists for your specific engine and year before searching for this part.

Both a 2005 and a 2010 Vito fall within the W639 generation (2003–2014), which is a good starting point, but fitment of the slave cylinder is driven primarily by engine code rather than year alone — a diesel with engine code 646 may not share the same unit as one coded 112 or 113. Supply your engine code from the V5 or a VIN check to the breaker so they can match the correct unit rather than relying on year alone.

Body length does not affect clutch slave cylinder fitment at all — this is a mechanical component tied to the engine and gearbox, not the chassis length or body style. What the breaker needs is your engine code, fuel type (diesel in the vast majority of UK Vitos), and confirmation that your gearbox is manual; the wheelbase variant is irrelevant to this part.

No, trim level has no bearing on clutch slave cylinder fitment whatsoever — Sport, Select, Tourer, and any other badge refer to interior and equipment levels, not the drivetrain. The part is determined by your engine code and gearbox type, so two Vitos with identical engines and manual gearboxes will use the same slave cylinder regardless of trim; the only cosmetic difference you might encounter when collecting from a breaker is the surrounding interior trim on the donor vehicle, which is irrelevant.

The W638 and W639 are distinct generations with different engine families and hydraulic system configurations, so crossing that 2003 generation boundary is a real fitment risk. It is possible that some engine codes carried over with compatible components, but you should not assume compatibility — give the breaker your registration and engine code from both vehicles and let them confirm against their stock before purchasing.
