Browse 2002 Mercedes Engines by Model
Match your 2002 Mercedes engine by vehicle line. Mercedes catalogs this era by chassis Type code rather than by badge, so the cards below name the Type that actually determines fitment — every unit is then VIN-matched at the order step.
2002 S Class
220 Type S430 / S500 / S55 / S600 plus 129 Type SL500 / SL600. This line and the SL Class line carry the SAME six units in our catalog — trust the chassis Type code stamped on the donor, not the trunk badge.
2002 SL Class
129 Type SL500 / SL600 plus 220 Type S430 / S500 / S55 / S600, cross-cataloged identically to the S Class line. 2002 is the FINAL 129-Type SL year — the 230 Type arrives for 2003 and does not interchange.
2002 C Class
203 Type only: C230 supercharged 2.3L four (Cpe), C240 2.6L V6 (Sdn), and C320 3.2L V6 in Sdn and SW. No C55 AMG this year — it debuts for 2005.
2002 E Class
210 Type E320, E430 in RWD and AWD, and E55 AMG. 2002 is the LAST 210-Type E year; the 211 arrives for 2003. Gasoline only — the E320 CDI diesel does not join until 2005.
2002 CLK
208 Type CLK320 / CLK430 / CLK55, all one chassis this year. The 209 Type Coupe arrives for 2003, splitting the badge across two chassis.
2002 CL Class
215 Type CL500, CL55 and CL600. The V12 CL600 and supercharged CL55 share a shell but nothing under the hood.
2002 ML Series
163 Type ML320 3.2L V6, ML500 5.0L V8, and ML55 AMG. The 163 has two more seasons before the 164 replaces it.
2002 SLK
170 Type SLK230 supercharged four and SLK320 V6. The 171 does not arrive until 2005 and shares no engine mounting with the 170.
2002 G Class
463 Type G500 5.0L V8. A single unit — no G55 in 2002 inventory.
Why Buy a 2002 Mercedes Engine from Auto Power Source
Every 2002 Mercedes engine in this collection is pulled from an inventory-verified donor, cataloged against its chassis Type code, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Each unit clears our six-step inspection — VIN-matching, compression testing, noise & smoke verification, full visual inspection, multi-angle photography, and palletized freight.
2002 is a transition year across the Mercedes range, which is exactly why the Type code matters: the 129 SL and the 210 E Class are both in their final season, and the 208 CLK is one chassis this year but two next year. Our ASE-certified technicians compression-test every cylinder and run a leak-down evaluation before any unit is cleared for sale. You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for identical Mercedes engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and get up to a 3-year warranty plus 30-day money-back. Not sure which Type you have? Text your VIN and we will confirm.

2002 Mercedes Engine Buying Guide
-
Read the chassis Type code, not the badge. 2002 Mercedes engines are cataloged as 203, 210, 215, 220, 129, 208, 170, 163 and 463 Type. Two cars wearing the same badge can be different Types, and the Types do not interchange.
-
Watch the S / SL cross-listing. Our 220 Type S430 / S500 / S55 / S600 and 129 Type SL500 / SL600 units are cataloged under both the S Class and SL Class lines — the same six units appear under each badge. The Type code resolves it; ask us if the badge and Type disagree.
-
Mind the 2002 changeover years. The 129 SL and the 210 E Class both end after 2002, and the 208 CLK is a single chassis this year. A 2003 replacement engine from a 230 SL, a 211 E or a 209 CLK will not bolt into a 2002 car.
-
Confirm forced induction and cylinder count. 2002 spans a supercharged 2.3L four (C230, SLK230), V6s, V8s, the supercharged AMG 55 units, and the V12 CL600 / S600 / SL600. Displacement alone does not identify the engine.
-
Check drivetrain on the E430. We stock it in both RWD and 4MATIC AWD for 2002; mounts and accessory drive differ between them.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any engine ships.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty on a 2002 Mercedes engine?
Up to 3 years, depending on the specific unit. The exact warranty term is listed on each product page.
What does compression-tested mean?
ASE-certified technicians compression-test every cylinder and run a leak-down evaluation before any 2002 Mercedes engine is cleared for sale.
How long until delivery?
Prep and ship time is 3-5 business days. Transit time is 2-3 business days via freight carrier after dispatch.
Can I see photos before I buy?
Yes. Multi-angle photos of the actual unit are sent before payment, and you approve them before anything ships.
Do I need my VIN?
Strongly recommended. 2002 Mercedes engines are cataloged by chassis Type code — 203, 210, 215, 220, 129, 208, 170, 163 and 463 — and the badge on the trunk does not always tell you which one you have.
What if I do not approve the photos?
Every dollar back — no restocking fees, no return freight charges.
Why is this cheaper than the dealer?
Identical Mercedes engineering, sourced from a low-mileage donor rather than built new. You skip the dealer markup on a 2002 chassis the factory stopped supporting years ago.
When can I reach customer service?
24h Monday through Saturday on 1-877-313-8995, or text your VIN any time and a specialist replies with matched options.

Our 6-Step Inspection & Shipping Process

2. Tested & VerifiedASE-certified technicians compression-test every cylinder and run a leak-down evaluation on each engine.
3. Noise & Smoke VerificationUnits are run to verify normal mechanical sound and clean operation — catches wear static tests miss.

5. Photograph & CatalogMulti-angle photos sent to you BEFORE we ship, for your approval.
6. Palletize & ShipStrapped on a heavy-duty wooden pallet, shipped via freight at no charge.
