Find your car by year

Pick the year off your mulkiya, then your model. You land straight on that car's parts — we work the chassis code out for you.

Step 1 — what year is your car?

Every car sold that year appears here. No chassis code needed — we work it out from the model and the year.

Or just find the shape

Every Mercedes-Benz we carry

89 generations across 36 model lines, by body. You do not need the chassis code — find the car that looks like yours and tap it. The strips move on their own; hover, hold or drag to stop one.

Or find it by model36 model lines · 91 generations

Search the badge on the back of your car, the chassis code off your mulkiya, or just pick the kind of car it is.

Reading your chassis numberwhat the seventeen characters mean

Start with the chassis number

A Mercedes is identified by its chassis number — seventeen characters, and the only thing that settles which parts fit. In the UAE the quickest place to read it is your mulkiya (vehicle registration card); on the car it is at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side and on the sticker in the driver's door jamb.

Characters 1–3
Who built it and what kind of vehicle. WDB and WDD are passenger cars, WDC is an SUV, W1K and W1N are the newer passenger and SUV codes used from 2022.
Characters 4–8
The model, the body style and the engine. This is the part that decides fitment — it is where the W205 or W213 in the model code is actually written.
Character 9
A check digit. It validates the rest; it tells you nothing about the car.
Character 10
Model year.
Character 11
The plant that built it.
Characters 12–17
The serial number — unique to your car.

If you send us the full seventeen characters we can work out the generation, the body and usually the engine ourselves. If you would rather not send it, the model, the year and the engine badge on the boot will get us most of the way — we will confirm before anything is ordered.

Every system on the carall 18, by symptom
What we source

Every system on the car — 449 parts

Grouped by system, and each led by the symptom that sends people looking for it. Open the one that matches what the car is doing.

Brakes

Everything that slows and stops the car.

Symptom: Squealing or grinding when braking, a soft or long pedal, a brake warning light, or pulling to one side under braking.

31partsOpen

Suspension & Steering

What holds the wheels to the car, absorbs the road, and points the car where you steer.

Symptom: Knocking over bumps, the car sitting low on one corner, wandering or heavy steering, uneven tyre wear, or an AIRMATIC warning.

54partsOpen

Engine

The engine itself — the moving parts, the timing, and everything that seals it.

Symptom: Rattle on start-up, rough running, a check-engine light, an oil leak, low compression, or a timing chain warning.

49partsOpen

Oil & Lubrication

Getting oil where it is needed and keeping it clean and cool.

Symptom: Oil leak, low oil pressure warning, oil in the coolant, or oil consumption between services.

17partsOpen

Cooling

Keeping the engine, gearbox and charge air at the temperature they are designed to run at.

Symptom: Overheating, losing coolant, a temperature gauge that climbs in traffic, a sweet smell, or a coolant warning.

21partsOpen

Fuel System

Storing fuel and delivering it to the engine at the right pressure.

Symptom: Hard starting, misfire, hesitation under load, a smell of fuel, a fuel pressure fault code, or poor economy.

20partsOpen

Exhaust & Emissions

Carrying gases away and cleaning them enough to pass a test.

Symptom: Blowing exhaust, a rattle underneath, failed emissions at registration, a DPF or AdBlue warning, or limp mode.

19partsOpen

Ignition, Starting & Charging

Starting the engine, keeping it running and keeping the battery charged.

Symptom: Car will not start, slow cranking, a battery warning light, misfire under load, or electrics that drop out.

18partsOpen

Transmission & Drivetrain

Taking the power from the engine to the wheels.

Symptom: Harsh or delayed shifts, a clunk pulling away, vibration at speed, a transmission warning, or fluid on the floor.

26partsOpen

High-Voltage Battery & Charging

The traction battery and everything that puts energy into it.

Symptom: Reduced range, a car that will not charge or charges slowly, a high-voltage system warning, or a fault after a collision.

18partsOpen

Electric Drive

The motor, the electronics that feed it and the single-speed gear that takes it to the wheels.

Symptom: Loss of drive, a whine or vibration under acceleration, reduced power, or a drive-system warning.

16partsOpen

Electrical, Sensors & Modules

The sensors the car reads and the modules that decide what to do about them.

Symptom: A warning light with no obvious fault, a fault code from a scan, windows or locks that stop working, or intermittent electrics.

34partsOpen

Lighting

Seeing and being seen — and on a modern Mercedes, one of the most expensive things to replace.

Symptom: A cracked or fogged light, a bulb out, condensation inside the unit, or a lighting fault on the dash.

19partsOpen

Air Conditioning & Heating

Cooling the cabin — which in this climate is not a comfort item.

Symptom: Air-con blowing warm, a smell from the vents, a compressor that will not engage, or weak airflow.

16partsOpen

Body & Exterior

Panels, glass and trim — what an accident, a car park or the sun damages.

Symptom: Accident damage, a dent or rust, a knocked-off mirror, peeling trim, or a cracked screen.

33partsOpen

Interior

Everything inside the cabin, including the parts the Gulf sun destroys first.

Symptom: A cracked or sticky dashboard, a sagging roof lining, a broken switch or handle, worn seat bolsters, or a rattle from the trim.

28partsOpen

Service Parts & Consumables

What a car needs at every service, and what a workshop gets through.

Symptom: A service is due, or the car is being prepared for passing and registration.

18partsOpen

Used & Salvage Assemblies

Complete assemblies from stripped cars, where a new part is not proportionate to the job.

Symptom: An expensive assembly has failed on an older car, or an insurance repair has to be done at a price that makes sense.

What Mercedes calls thingsAIRMATIC, 4MATIC, SAM, BlueTEC
The vocabulary

What Mercedes calls things

Mercedes names its systems, and the names are on the car, on the data card and in the warning messages. Several of them decide which part your car takes, which is why we ask.

AIRMATIC

Air suspension — the car rides on air springs instead of steel coils, with electronically controlled damping.

Why it matters: The single most common mis-order on a Mercedes. An air strut and a coil strut are entirely different parts at entirely different money, and plenty of models were sold both ways.

ADS

Adaptive Damping System — electronically adjustable dampers, fitted alongside AIRMATIC or on its own.

Why it matters: An ADS damper carries a solenoid and a plug. A standard damper will physically fit and then put a light on the dash.

ABC

Active Body Control — hydraulic active suspension, used on S-Class, CL and SL.

Why it matters: Not air suspension and not interchangeable with it. Struts, pumps, accumulators and lines are all specific to ABC.

4MATIC

Mercedes all-wheel drive.

Why it matters: Changes the front suspension, the driveshafts, the subframe, the sump and the exhaust routing. A 4MATIC part list is a different list, not the rear-drive one with extras.

BlueTEC / BlueEFFICIENCY

BlueTEC is the AdBlue-dosed diesel emissions system; BlueEFFICIENCY is the fuel-saving package, including stop-start.

Why it matters: BlueTEC cars carry an AdBlue tank, pump, dosing valve and NOx sensors that non-BlueTEC cars do not. BlueEFFICIENCY stop-start cars need an AGM battery, not an ordinary one.

MULTIBEAM LED / ILS

The adaptive LED headlamp systems. ILS is Intelligent Light System, the earlier bi-xenon version.

Why it matters: Headlights change within a single generation, at facelift and by trim. Halogen, bi-xenon and MULTIBEAM units are three different parts and three very different prices.

SBC

Sensotronic Brake Control — the electro-hydraulic braking system on the pre-facelift W211 and related cars.

Why it matters: Not a conventional master cylinder and servo. The pump is a wear item with a counted life, and there is extended factory cover on it.

ESL / ELV

Electronic Steering Lock — the motorised lock that releases the column when the car is started.

Why it matters: When it fails the car will not start at all, and the fix is a module that has to be coded to the vehicle.

SAM

Signal Acquisition Module — the front and rear fuse, relay and signal units that run most of the car's electrics.

Why it matters: A SAM is not a fuse box you can swap. It is coded to the car, and water ingress is the usual reason one dies.

722.6 / 722.9 / 725.0

Gearbox codes — the five-speed, seven-speed and nine-speed automatics.

Why it matters: The gearbox code, not the model year, decides which internals and which control module the car takes.

M / OM engine codes

M is a petrol engine, OM is a diesel. The number is the engine family — M274, OM651.

Why it matters: The badge on the boot does not identify the engine. A C 200 is an M271 in a W204 and an M274 in a W205.

Data card

The factory build record for one chassis number — every option the car left the line with.

Why it matters: It settles AIRMATIC or steel, 4MATIC or rear-drive, halogen or LED, and the gearbox and paint codes, without anyone guessing. It is why we ask for the chassis number.

Gearboxes722.6, 722.9 and 725.0
Gearboxes

Five, seven or nine speed

These overlap by years — the 722.6 ran from 1996 to 2020 and the 722.9 from 2003 to 2020 — so the model year does not tell you which one you have. The data card does, and we read it off your chassis number.

722.6

5G-Tronic

Produced 1996–2020 in different variants; fitted across virtually the whole range

The long-serving five-speed. Widely supported and the cheapest of the three to keep going.

Checked against gearboxlist.com

722.9

7G-Tronic

Produced 2003–2020; in cars from about 2005 to 2017 depending on model

Fails in two ways that feel identical from the driver's seat: electronically, inside the conductor plate, and hydraulically, through valve body bore wear. Early units built 2004–2008 are VGS1 and usually need the valve body AND the conductor plate; later VGS2 and VGS3 units can often be done with the conductor plate and TCU alone. Which generation you have decides the price, so it is worth establishing before ordering.

725.0

9G-Tronic

The current nine-speed automatic

The newest of the three. Parts support is through Mercedes rather than the wide aftermarket that exists for the 722.6.

Questions we get asked4 answers

What do you need from me to quote a part?

The chassis number and what the car is doing. With seventeen characters we can work out the generation, the body and usually the engine ourselves. Without it we are guessing, and a guessed part that does not fit wastes your time and ours.

Where do I find the chassis number in the UAE?

Your mulkiya — the vehicle registration card — carries it. On the car it is at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, and on a sticker inside the driver's door jamb.

Do you sell genuine or aftermarket parts?

Both, and used where it makes sense. Which is right depends on the part and the age of the car, so we price the options side by side and let you choose rather than deciding for you.

Do you fit parts as well as supply them?

We supply. For fitting we can point you at workshops we deal with, but the labour invoice is theirs rather than ours — better to be straight about that than to pretend to be a garage.
