Mercedes-Benz Chassis Codes Explained

Enter your VIN to find your Mercedes chassis code

Loading the VIN lookup...

No box? Match your model year and model in the tables below.

Chassis Prefixes

The letter in front of a chassis code is Mercedes' internal body code.

  • W Standard body: sedans, plus the M-Class and GLE, the G-Class and the older Sprinter (W906).
  • S Wagon.
  • C Coupe, including the four-door CLS and CLA.
  • A Cabriolet.
  • R Roadster, like the SL and SLK.
  • X SUV, like the GLK, GLC and GLS.
  • V Long wheelbase and vans: the Maybach S-Class (V222), the Metris and newer Sprinter vans, plus the R-Class and EQS.
  • H The 2021 and newer GLA only (H247).

How to Read a Chassis Code

  • W204: the chassis code, the prefix plus the generation number (204). A W204 sedan and a C204 coupe are the same C-Class generation.
  • W205: the next C-Class generation. Plenty of its parts won't fit a W204.
  • Refresh: a mid-cycle refresh keeps the code, so a 2009 and a 2013 C-Class are both W204.
  • 204.054: the model number: the series, a dot, then three digits for the exact variant. A C300 sedan is 204.054 and a C350 sedan is 204.056. Both are W204s.
  • Years: the model years we have vehicle pages for, which can differ from the years Mercedes built the car. A 2008 C300 is a W204, not a W203.

How to Read a Model Name

  • Class letters: C300 is a C-Class, E320 an E-Class, GLE350 a GLE.
  • The number, until the 2000s: it usually matched the engine size. An E320 has a 3.2L and a 300E a 3.0L. By the mid-2000s there were exceptions, like the C240.
  • The number, since: it is a trim level, not displacement. A 2015 C300 is a 2.0L turbo, and a C63 AMG isn't a 6.3L anymore.
  • D and E on older cars: D is diesel and E is fuel injection (190D, 300E).
  • Order: older cars put the number first (300E). Around 1994 Mercedes flipped it to class letter first (E320, C230).
  • d and e on newer cars: lowercase d is diesel and lowercase e is plug-in hybrid (GLE300d, C350e).
  • AMG: the performance version, like the C63 AMG.

Reading a Mercedes VIN

A US-market Mercedes VIN doesn't carry the model number. Characters 4-8 say which model, body and engine it is, and character 10 is the model year, so the box above reads those two. A European-market VIN carries the model number in characters 4-9. The first three digits are the series.

WDD204054........ Characters 4-9 are 204054, model number 204.054: a W204 C-Class.

Add your car with your year, model and engine, and we'll filter every part on the site to fit it.

Common Questions

How do I find my chassis code?

Match your model year and model in the tables. On a changeover year, like a 2008 C-Class, check the years: the W204 starts at 2008.

Why is my model listed twice?

A model that spans two generations, like the C63 AMG, shows up in both. Use the years to pick yours. The Mercedes-Benz models list has a page for every year of every model.

Does the chassis code tell me my engine?

No. One chassis can carry several engines, so check both when you shop. The Engines column shows the ones we list parts for.
