OEX Air Conditioning Evaporator Core EVX257 Pad-pad For Mercedes-benz C180 W203, C200 W203/CL203

The OEX air conditioning evaporator core, part number EVX257, is a plate and fin evaporator designed with pad inlet and pad outlet fittings. It is supplied as one each and carries a one year warranty. The listed core dimensions are 200mm long, 306mm high, and 65mm deep, with a weight of 2.24kg.

This evaporator is listed to suit Mercedes-Benz C180 W203 1.8L and 2.0L from 10/2000 to 07/2007, as well as Mercedes-Benz C200 W203/CL203 2.0L from 11/2000 to 09/2002. Those model, body, engine and date details matter here because evaporator fitment depends on the exact application, not just the vehicle badge.

For buyers comparing climate control components, the pad-to-pad fitting style and the physical size are key checkpoints. An evaporator core sits within the air conditioning system and must match the vehicle’s intended housing and connections, so the EVX257 should be checked carefully against the existing part before purchase.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number EVX257 with the evaporator currently fitted to the vehicle. The listed fitment is limited to Mercedes-Benz C180 W203 and C200 W203/CL203 applications, so the exact model code, engine size and build dates need to line up with your vehicle.

The pad inlet and pad outlet design is an important match point. If the existing evaporator uses a different connection style, the part may not suit even if the vehicle badge appears similar. The 200mm x 306mm x 65mm dimensions are also useful when checking the unit against the housing and surrounding components.

The weight of 2.24kg and the single-unit supply are practical details for workshop planning and parts comparison. If you are working from a registration lookup or a previous repair record, confirm that the vehicle falls within the stated date range and not just the broader C-Class or CL-Class family.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number EVX257 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

For part number EVX257, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a air conditioning evaporator core in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed electrical specification should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS, MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS 2000, MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS 2001, MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS 2002. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

The listed warranty is One Year. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment using part number EVX257, the pad-to-pad connection style, and the stated Mercedes-Benz C180 W203 and C200 W203/CL203 application details before ordering.
