Second Hand Mercedes-Benz Vito Sump

The engine code is the single most useful detail you can supply when sourcing a used sump, because the sump follows the engine, not the badge or year on the V5. You can find your engine code on your V5 logbook or by running a VIN check. Share it directly with the breaker to make sure the sump they have matches your exact unit.

The W639 Vito ran from 2003 to 2014, so a 2010 and a 2014 both sit within the same generation — however, Mercedes made running production changes during that span, and whether a specific sump crosses those mid-run revisions without modification is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration and engine code. Always check the engine code on both vehicles match before buying. The breaker can cross-reference their parts against your VIN to be sure.

The W639 generation ran from 2003 to 2014, and the W447 replaced it from 2014 onwards with a substantially revised engine lineup, so these two generations are not the same. A sump is engine-specific, and the engine codes across these two generations differ, meaning a direct swap is very unlikely. Give the breaker your engine code from your V5 and they can confirm whether any part they hold matches your unit.

No, trim level does not affect sump fitment on the Vito — the sump follows the engine, not the trim designation. An Ambiente and a Sport with identical engine codes will use the same sump. You may find cosmetic differences between vehicles from different trims when collecting the part, but mechanically the sump itself is determined entirely by the engine code.

Yes, fuel type matters because petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units with different sumps. The vast majority of UK Vitos are diesel, but you should still confirm your exact engine code with the breaker rather than relying on fuel type alone, as there are multiple diesel variants across both the W639 and W447 generations with different specifications. Always quote your engine code to avoid ordering the wrong part.

Gearbox type can influence ancillary components and how the engine sits in the bay, so it is worth flagging to the breaker whether your Vito is manual or automatic alongside your engine code. In many cases the sump itself is the same unit, but confirm this with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming — they can check against their specific part before it leaves the yard.
