Mercedes GLA250 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 GLA250 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 GLA250ENGINE OPTIONS
Every GLA250 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR GLA250 ENGINE
We rebuild the engine your GLA250 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 GLA250 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 GLA250 ENGINES
Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED GLA250 ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT GLA250 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 GLA250 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 GLA250 ENGINE
The GLA250 has been a mainstay of the GLA-Class petrol range since the model launched, spanning two generations under one badge. First-generation cars (X156, 2013–2020) use either the M270 or M282 — both 4-cylinder petrol units, with the M282 introduced as a later running change in the X156 run. From 2020, the H247-generation GLA250 uses the M260 or M282, a newer 2.0-litre unit and the 1.3-litre M282 respectively. Knowing which one your car has matters because the components differ between them — which is exactly why we confirm your exact engine by registration before quoting. The GLA250 is no longer in production as of the latest H247 facelift, 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 GLA250 on the road.
MERCEDES GLA250 ENGINE CODES
M270 (X156)
A 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol fitted to the GLA250 from the start of X156 production. Part of the M270 family shared across the A-Class and B-Class of that era. We replace timing chains, bearings and gaskets as standard on every M270 rebuild.
Check Your M270 GLA250M282 (X156, H247)
A 1.3-litre 4-cylinder petrol fitted to later X156 models and carried over into the H247 generation. Co-developed with Renault but built to Mercedes specification. We replace timing chains, bearings and gaskets as standard on every M282 rebuild.
Check Your M282 GLA250M260 (H247)
A 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol fitted to the H247-generation GLA250 from 2020. A more recent unit than the M270, with its own specific service pattern. We rebuild M260 engines to the same standard, replacing timing chains, bearings and gaskets.
Check Your M260 GLA250MERCEDES GLA250 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
Because the GLA250 spans three engine codes across two generations, fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming an M270 part will work on an M260 or M282 car — 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 GLA250 ENGINES BY YEAR
From the R190's launch in 2023, the GLA250 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 GLA250 since launch — if your registration year isn't listed above, get in touch and we'll confirm availability directly against your reg.
