WHERE THIS PART FITS & WHAT IT DOES
Part number 2016831225 is a carpeted interior trim component for
the centre-console / transmission-tunnel trim area of the W201.
It finishes and covers the surrounding console area and helps retain the intended
period-correct interior appearance.
This is a non-electrical trim component. It does not operate an
engine, transmission, heater, switch or electronic system. Its purpose is trim,
coverage, appearance and secure interior fit.
Online descriptions of this number vary in their precise front/rear terminology.
For that reason, we do not want a buyer relying on a generic location name alone.
Use the number, physical shape, carpet face and rear mounting layout shown above as the primary identification check.

FITMENT NOT CURRENTLY CONFIRMED
The following applications are not included in this listing's verified fitment guarantee
because reliable part-number evidence was not strong enough to add them:
1982 and 1983 W201: these years appear in the old listing title,
but they are not present in the structured vehicle compatibility rows currently shown for this item.
190D diesel variants: not confirmed for part number 2016831225 from the evidence checked.
Other W201 petrol variants: 1.8, 2.3, 2.6, 16-valve and specialist derivatives
have not been added simply because they share the W201 chassis.
Other Mercedes chassis families: no W124, W126, W202 or other chassis family
has been confirmed for this exact number.
Important: "not confirmed" does not automatically mean the physical part can never fit.
It means we do not have enough evidence to promise fitment. Message us through eBay if your
vehicle falls outside the verified table.
BUY THE CORRECT PART FIRST TIME
| 1. Part number |
Look for 2016831225 or 201 683 12 25 on your original trim where possible. |
| 2. Physical shape |
Compare the outline, taper, rear profile and mounting features with our actual photographs. |
| 3. Vehicle |
Confirm W201 / 190 E 2.0 petrol saloon and the exact year in the table above. |
| 4. Engine |
Verified data covers the 1996cc M102.961 / M102.962 applications stated above. |
| 5. Colour / finish |
Compare your existing carpet colour with the actual item photos. Age, fading and screen settings can change perceived shade. |
| 6. Still unsure? |
Send your VIN, registration and photographs through eBay Messages before buying. We are happy to help verify the match. |
WHEN SHOULD THIS TRIM BE REPLACED?
Because this is an interior finishing component rather than an electronic control unit,
replacement is normally required for condition, fit and cabin presentation rather than a mechanical fault.
Worn carpet: flattened, frayed, stained or heavily faded visible surface.
Loose trim: insert lifts, moves or does not sit flush against the console area.
Damaged backing: cracks, distortion or broken mounting features can prevent secure seating.
Interior rattles: a loose trim panel may vibrate or rattle over uneven roads.
Restoration work: replacing poor trim can restore a cleaner, period-correct cabin appearance.
Missing trim: replacement covers the intended interior mounting/finish area.
WHY CHOOSE A FACTORY-MANUFACTURED PRE-OWNED PART?
A factory-manufactured trim component was designed around the vehicle's original contours,
mounting geometry, neighbouring panels and cabin finish. This can be especially valuable on
an older W201 where correct shape and period appearance matter.
Low-cost reproduction components vary by manufacturer. Differences can occur in mould shape,
mounting positions, carpet texture, edge profile or shade. A correctly matched original
factory-manufactured component removes one source of uncertainty because the buyer can compare
the exact number and mounting shape with the part already fitted.
Pre-owned factory parts can also provide substantial savings compared with buying a new
replacement where new stock is still available. The saving varies by component and current
new-part availability, so we recommend comparing like-for-like part numbers rather than relying
on a fixed percentage claim.
FITTING GUIDE
General W201 interior-trim guidance only. Trim configuration can vary by specification,
transmission and previous repairs. Do not force ageing plastics.
Estimated repair time: approximately 15-30 minutes for straightforward trim replacement.
This is a planning estimate, not a manufacturer labour time. Extra dismantling, damaged clips or
previous modifications can increase the time required.
Suggested tools
Plastic interior trim-removal tool, good work light/torch and protective gloves.
A Phillips screwdriver and small metric socket set may also be useful if neighbouring console
trim needs to be loosened on your particular vehicle.
Installation sequence
Step 1: Park safely, secure the vehicle and ensure the interior work area is well lit.
Step 2: Before removing anything, compare the replacement part number, outline and mounting arrangement with the trim currently fitted.
Step 3: Use a plastic trim tool to release the existing insert carefully. Avoid metal screwdrivers against visible trim because they can mark surrounding panels.
Step 4: If access requires adjacent console trim to be loosened, remove only the fasteners necessary and keep them organised.
Step 5: Clean loose dirt from the mounting area and inspect neighbouring clips or supports before fitting the replacement.
Step 6: Align the moulded backing and mounting features before applying pressure. Never force the trim if alignment appears wrong.
Step 7: Seat the insert evenly and confirm that the trim lies flush without interfering with the centre console, gear selector area or other controls.
Step 8: Refit any surrounding trim removed for access and check the area for movement or rattles.

eBay buyer protection or statutory consumer rights.

SUPPORT A LOCAL INDEPENDENT BUSINESS & KEEP GOOD PARTS IN USE
Thank you for supporting ThePartPilot. Choosing a serviceable pre-owned automotive
component helps extend the useful life of parts that have already been manufactured,
reduces unnecessary disposal and can reduce demand for manufacturing another
replacement component purely because an existing one has been removed from a vehicle.
Reuse, repair and responsible vehicle dismantling all help keep valuable materials
in circulation for longer while helping owners maintain vehicles that might otherwise
become increasingly difficult or expensive to repair.
CAREFUL PACKING & DISPATCH
Illustrative licensed dispatch stock image - not a photograph of ThePartPilot premises or staff.
Interior trim can be vulnerable to crushing, bending and abrasion in transit,
so parts are packed with the aim of protecting vulnerable faces, edges and mounting
features during the delivery journey.
CHECK 2016831225 BEFORE ORDERING
Correct model alone is not enough. Match the part number, shape, carpet finish,
mounting points, year and vehicle specification. If in doubt, message us through eBay first.
