Mercedes CLK 350 Oil Leaks & Coolant System Wear (M256 I6)
The M256 is a sophisticated 3.0-litre inline-six with an integrated starter-generator and electric auxiliary compressor — a more modern and efficient design than the older M276 V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every M256 rebuild.
Because the CLK 350 uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the CLK 63 and GT 63 S, parts and rebuild specifications don't cross over between them.
Source: Established M256 specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.
Mercedes CLK 350ENGINE OPTIONS
Every CLK 350 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR CLK 350 ENGINE
We rebuild the engine your CLK 350 already has instead of selling you a used engine of unknown history — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chains, bearings, water pump, gaskets) with updated OEM parts. Near-new performance with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
From £3,200RECONDITIONED CLK 350 ENGINES
A full strip-down, inspection and replacement of worn parts rather than a straight swap. If that's what you're after, our rebuild service is exactly that.

Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED CLK 350 ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT CLK 350 ENGINES

Learn moreUSED CLK 350 ENGINES
Matched low-mileage used engines for when time is critical. We source and fit these too, but most owners choose a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risks.

ABOUT THE MERCEDES CLK 350 ENGINE
The CLK 350 was introduced with the C209 generation from 2002, using the M272 — a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine. It replaced the earlier CLK 320's M112 V6, offering more power and improved refinement. The M272 was fitted to the CLK 350 throughout its production run until 2009, when the C207-generation CLK (based on the E-Class platform) succeeded it. The CLK 350 is no longer in production, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.
We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every CLK 350 on the road.
MERCEDES CLK 350 ENGINE CODES
M256 (R190, 2023–present)
A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the CLK 350 from 2023 to present. The M256 features an integrated starter-generator (ISG) and electric auxiliary compressor, making it a more modern and efficient design than the older M276 V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every M256 rebuild.

The CLK 350 uses the M272 3.5-litre V6 across its entire C209 production run (2002–2009). Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:
Your exact engine code (M256) via registration or VIN
Your generation (R190)
Drivetrain and ancillary specification
Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build
This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic CLK quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
