Mercedes GLA200 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 GLA200 uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the GLA-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 GLA200ENGINE OPTIONS
Every GLA200 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR GLA200 ENGINE
We rebuild the engine your GLA200 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 GLA200 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 GLA200 ENGINES
Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED GLA200 ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT GLA200 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 GLA200 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 GLA200 ENGINE
The GLA200 has been part of the GLA-Class range since the model launched in 2013, and across its two generations has used several different petrol engines — from the early M270 and M282 through to today's M260 and M282 units. Early cars (X156 generation, 2013–2020) used the M270 2.0-litre turbo petrol in pre-facelift form, with some later X156 models switching to the M282 1.3-litre unit. From 2020, the current H247 generation uses the M260 2.0-litre and continues with the M282 1.3-litre in some markets. The full breakdown by engine code is below.
We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every GLA200 on the road.
MERCEDES GLA200 ENGINE CODES
M270 (X156, pre-facelift)
A 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder fitted to the GLA200 from 2013 to approximately 2017 on the X156 generation. It's part of the same M270 family used across the Mercedes compact range of that era.
Check Your M270 GLA200M282 (X156, facelift / H247)
A 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder fitted to later X156 GLA200s (roughly 2017–2020) and continuing into the H247 generation from 2020. This is the smaller-capacity unit in the GLA200 range.
Check Your M282 GLA200M260 (H247)
A 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder fitted to the current H247-generation GLA200 from 2020 onwards. It's part of the newer M260 family that replaced the M270 in many Mercedes applications.
Check Your M260 GLA200MERCEDES GLA200 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
Because the GLA200 spans multiple engine codes across its two generations, fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming parts from one engine will work on another — risks a compatibility problem that's expensive to unpick. 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 GLA-Class quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
MERCEDES GLA200 ENGINES BY YEAR
From the R190's launch in 2023, the GLA200 has used the M256 3.0-litre inline-six mild hybrid throughout. If you're unsure of your exact spec, we'll confirm it before you book.
The M256 has been fitted to every GLA200 since launch — if your registration year isn't listed above, get in touch and we'll confirm availability directly against your reg.
