Mercedes GLA220d Timing Chain & Injector Wear (X156, OM651)
If your GLA220d is a 2013–2020 model with the OM651 diesel — that's the X156 generation — timing chain wear and injector seal leaks are a well-documented pattern on this engine, shared with the A-Class family. We replace the timing chain, tensioners, and injector seals as standard on every OM651 rebuild.
The H247 generation (2020–present) uses a different engine, the OM607, which doesn't share this specific issue. We don't have a confirmed pattern for the OM607 in this model at this time.
Source: established specialist pattern (per G-BRF), verified via VRF. OM607 (H247) explicitly excluded from this claim per VRF, correctly scoped to generation
Mercedes GLA220dENGINE OPTIONS
Every GLA220D is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR GLA220D ENGINE
We rebuild the engine your GLA220D 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 GLA220D 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 GLA220D ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT GLA220D ENGINES

Learn moreUSED GLA220D 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 GLA220D ENGINE
The GLA220d has been a key diesel variant in the GLA-Class range since the model's launch in 2013, spanning two generations. The X156 generation (2013–2020) uses the OM651 — a 2.1-litre four-cylinder diesel shared across many Mercedes models of that era, including the A-Class. From 2020, the H247-generation GLA220d switched to the OM607, a 1.5-litre diesel unit. Knowing which one your car has matters, because the components and known wear patterns differ — which is exactly why we confirm your exact engine by registration before quoting.
We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every GLA220D on the road.
MERCEDES GLA220D ENGINE CODES
M256 (R190, 2023–present)
A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the GLA220D 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 GLA220DMERCEDES GLA220D ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
Because the GLA220d spans two distinct engines across two generations, fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming an OM651 part will work on an OM607 car — risks a compatibility problem. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm: - Your exact engine code (OM651 or OM607) via registration or VIN - Your generation (X156 or H247) - 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 GLA-Class quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
