Mercedes G500 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 G500 uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the G-Class 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 G500ENGINE OPTIONS
Every G500 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR G500 ENGINE
We rebuild the engine your G500 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 G500 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.
Learn moreREFURBISHED G500 ENGINES
Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED G500 ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT G500 ENGINES
If your existing engine is beyond economical repair, we offer complete engine replacement and fitting – sourced and fitted by our team, with the same 12-month warranty.
Learn moreUSED G500 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 G500 ENGINE
The G500 has been part of the G-Class range since the 1990s, and across its generations has used three different V8 engines — from the earlier M113 through the M273 and into today's M176. The full breakdown by engine code is below.
We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every G500 on the road.
MERCEDES G500 ENGINE CODES
M256 (R190, 2023–present)
A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the G500 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.
Check Your M256 G500MERCEDES G500 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
Because the G500 spans three distinct V8 engines across two generations, fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming an M113 part will work on an M176 car — risks a compatibility problem that's expensive to unpick. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm: - Your exact engine code (M113, M273, or M176) via registration or VIN - Your generation (pre-2018 W463 or W463a) - Drivetrain and ancillary specification - Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build
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 G-Class quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
