Product Description
Vehicle manufacturer names, logos and OE reference numbers are used for identification and compatibility purposes only. BEST GROWTH products are independent aftermarket products and are not manufactured, sponsored or endorsed by the respective vehicle manufacturers.
BG 205143 (OE 0004901613): function on the vehicle
Urea (AdBlue) Dosing Module for MERCEDES-BENZ passenger cars, SUVs and LCVs – OE 0004901613 is supplied by BEST GROWTH under part number 205143, cross-referenced to OE 0004901613, as a direct-fit aftermarket def dosing modules. In service it is the final actuator of the SCR loop: whatever the controller calculates from the NOx signal is only delivered as accurately as this module sprays it.
BG 205143 is built to the position defined by its OE application in passenger car and light commercial vehicle service on the platform from Mercedes-Benz. Position, calibration and connector layout are part of the specification, so a part that physically fits is not automatically the correct part.
Seal and gasket condition at the exhaust interface is part of the repair: a leaking joint cools the spray zone and promotes crystallisation.
Fitment for Mercedes-Benz and OE cross reference
BG 205143 replaces 4 OE references: 0004901613, A0004901613, 0004904100 and A0004904100. Always confirm the number printed on the removed part, including any supersession issued by the vehicle manufacturer.
Recorded vehicle coverage for 205143 includes Mercedes-Benz, typically on MERCEDES-BENZ passenger cars, SUVs and LCVs. Coverage lists are a starting point for identification, not a substitute for checking the OE number on the vehicle.
Where several OE numbers appear against one BG reference, they are supersessions or regional variants of the same specification. Ordering by 0004901613 and quoting the number on your part lets our technical team confirm the variant before despatch.
Symptoms that lead to replacing 0004901613
These complaints bring a vehicle in with the Mercedes-Benz def dosing modules under suspicion. None of them prove BG 205143 has failed on its own, which is why the checks below matter before a replacement is ordered.
- deposits inside the mixer restricting exhaust flow
- white urea crystallisation around the dosing point or mixer
- low dosing pressure or pressure-build-up fault codes
- SCR low-conversion codes with confirmed in-spec DEF
- coolant or DEF weeping at the module interface
Checks before fitting BG 205143
Aftertreatment faults are usually system faults. Working through these checks prevents a repeat failure after the new def dosing modules is fitted.
- Check the cooling circuit or heat shield is intact before fitting a replacement.
- Clean or replace the mixer if crystallisation is already established, or the new module will block too.
- Verify commanded versus actual dosing pressure during an active dose, not at rest.
- Run a quantity test and inspect the spray pattern rather than judging the injector by appearance.
- Confirm the purge cycle completes at shutdown; skipped purges cause freeze damage.
Quality, packaging and ordering 205143
BG 205143 is manufactured and tested to aftermarket replacement standards, with electrical, leakage and functional testing carried out before packing. Bulk and retail packaging, private-label cartons and customer-specific labelling are available for distributors and workshop groups.
Send OE 0004901613 or the number printed on your part, the engine code and the vehicle identification number with your enquiry, and our technical team will confirm the correct reference, current stock position and lead time before you commit to an order.
Frequently asked questions
- Does BG 205143 replace OE 0004901613?
- Yes. BG 205143 is listed against 0004901613, A0004901613, 0004904100 and A0004904100. Confirm the number printed on the removed part and any manufacturer supersession before ordering.
- Which vehicles does BG 205143 fit?
- Recorded coverage includes Mercedes-Benz. It is supplied as a direct-fit aftermarket def dosing modules. Adaptation, reset or relearn procedures required by the vehicle manufacturer still apply after installation.
- Does this fault code always mean the def dosing modules has failed?
- No. Exhaust leaks, wiring and connector damage, reductant quality, dosing performance and upstream engine faults can all produce the same codes. Validate those inputs before replacing BG 205143.
