Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) Replacement Engines

A replacement OM608 engine for the Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) is a significant purchase, so getting the exact code right matters more than the badge on the boot. The Citan 111 CDI shares its OM608 base engine with the 109 CDI of the current W420 generation, at a higher state of tune. Whether you call it a rebuilt engine, a remanufactured unit, or a reconditioned replacement, the work involved is broadly the same: a full strip-down, inspection against factory tolerances, replacement of wear parts, and bench testing before it's fitted or dispatched to you.

Citan 111 CDI (W420) Models & Engine Codes

The Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) uses the OM608 (1.5-litre four-cylinder, Diesel), fitted to Citan 111 CDI van (W420) across 2021 to present. Don't assume this current OM608 is priced the same as the larger Vito or Sprinter diesels — our standard markers are flagged as a poor fit for this smaller engine. Before ordering any used, reconditioned or rebuilt unit, confirm this code from your V5C or the number stamped on the engine block itself — the same badge can sometimes cover more than one engine across a model's production run, and getting this step right avoids an expensive mismatch.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) Engines

Used OM608 engines do come up for sale in the UK, generally sourced from donor or written-off Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) cars. A used engine can look like the cheaper option at first glance, but once you've accounted for inspection, gaskets, ancillaries and the lack of a meaningful warranty, a professionally reconditioned or remanufactured OM608 unit is often the better value over the life of the car.

Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) Engines in Stock

We work with a UK-wide network of suppliers who carry reconditioned, rebuilt and remanufactured OM608 engines for the Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420), along with used units where buyers prefer that route.

Warranty for Replacement Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) Engines

Warranty terms for a replacement OM608 engine are set individually by the supplier we match you with — typically around 12 months on a reconditioned or remanufactured unit. No workbook price exists for the OM608; £4,000 is our nearest Mercedes-Benz diesel reference, pending management review — likely too high for this smaller-capacity engine. We'd recommend a dedicated lower reference for Citan-class diesels. Always get the warranty length, what it covers, and the VAT and fitting basis confirmed in writing before you commit.

Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) OM608 Engine Problems & What to Check Before Buying

We have not verified catalogue-grade documented issue reports specific to this application; this is also a relatively recent model. We note this as general background for anyone researching a OM608 replacement, not as a confirmed finding for any specific car — ask your supplier what inspection was carried out on the unit you're being quoted, and whether known wear points for this engine family were addressed during the rebuild.

What's Included in a Reconditioned Mercedes-Benz Citan 111 CDI (W420) OM608 Engine

A genuine reconditioned or remanufactured OM608 unit should include a full strip, clean and inspection against factory tolerances, replacement of gaskets, seals and wear items, and a bench test before it leaves the workshop. What's not always included — ancillaries like the turbo, injectors or auxiliary belt components, and whether the price is supply-only or supply-and-fit — varies by supplier, so ask for this in writing alongside your OM608 engine quote rather than assuming it's covered.
