Frequently Asked Questions
Do VADEN parts fit the Mercedes-Benz Citaro (O 530)?
Yes. VADEN supplies air-brake compressors, engine, clutch, cooling-system and fuel-system parts compatible with OM457-, OM906- and OM926-powered Citaro (O 530) buses. Compatibility is application-based; each item is listed against the OEM numbers it is compatible with, and fitment should always be verified by the vehicle's OEM number before ordering.
Is the OEM number enough to select the right part?
The OEM number is the primary basis for selection. VADEN catalogues every reference against the OEM numbers it is compatible with, so matching your vehicle's OEM or chassis number to the listing is the reliable way to confirm fitment. The model or engine name alone is not enough to identify the correct part.
Which Citaro engines and generations are covered?
VADEN's coverage centres on the OM457, OM906 and OM926 engines and maps primarily to the first-generation (C1) O 530 (1997–2011, with Singapore export orders to 2016). Because the OM457 and OM906 were carried over into the early second-generation (C2) buses (May 2011–mid 2012), these parts also fit C2 units from that window. The Euro VI OM936/OM470 engines used from May 2012 onward fall outside VADEN's listed coverage.
What part groups are available for the Citaro (O 530)?
For this model the VADEN catalogue includes air-brake compressors, engine parts, clutch, cooling-system and fuel-system groups — 99+ compatible VADEN references in total. Each group is listed against the OEM numbers it is compatible with, so you can confirm the exact part by OEM reference.
Does a part for one generation fit the others?
Application can differ between generations: the OM457 and OM906 parts fit both the first-generation C1 and the early (2011–mid 2012) C2, whereas the OM926 was used only in the first generation. For that reason a part's fitment should be confirmed by the vehicle's OEM or chassis number and the listed OEM reference, not by generation name alone.
