Mercedes GLC Coupe Known Issues by Engine

If your GLC Coupe has the OM651 diesel (early X253 generation, pre-facelift): injector seal leakage and timing chain wear is a well-documented pattern, shared with the C-Class family. We replace injector seals and timing chain components as standard on every OM651 rebuild.

If your GLC Coupe has the M177 V8 (X253 GLC63 AMG): valve seal and coolant system wear is a known AMG pattern. We replace valve seals, coolant components and timing chain components as standard on every M177 rebuild.

Source: Established M256 specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.

Mercedes GLC CoupeENGINE OPTIONS

Every GLC COUPE is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.

01MOST POPULAR

REBUILDING YOUR GLC COUPE ENGINE

We rebuild the engine your GLC COUPE 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 £3,200
02

RECONDITIONED GLC COUPE 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.

03

REFURBISHED GLC COUPE ENGINES

Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.

Learn more
04

REMANUFACTURED GLC COUPE ENGINES

Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.

Learn more
05

REPLACEMENT GLC COUPE 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 more
06

USED GLC COUPE 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 GLC COUPE ENGINE

Mercedes AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The GLC Coupe has been part of the GLC-Class range since 2015, and across its two generations has used multiple different engines — from the original M274 and OM651 units through to the current M254, OM654, OM656 and M139 hybrid setups. The full breakdown by engine code is below.

We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every GLC COUPE on the road.

MERCEDES GLC COUPE ENGINE CODES

M274

M274 (X253, 2015–2022)

A 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol fitted to the GLC200 and GLC300 in the first-generation X253. No specific known issue confirmed for this application. We service it to the same standard as our other GLC Coupe rebuilds.

Check Your M274 GLC Coupe
M254

M254 (X254, 2022–present)

A 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol with mild-hybrid technology, fitted to the GLC200 and GLC300 in the current X254 generation from 2023. No specific known issue confirmed for this application — it's a newer design. We service it to the same standard as our other GLC Coupe rebuilds.

Check Your M254 GLC Coupe
OM651

OM651 (X253 early, 2015–early)

A 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel fitted to early X253-generation GLC220d and GLC300d models. Known for injector seal leakage and timing chain wear — see the callout above. We replace injector seals and timing chain components as standard on every OM651 rebuild.

Check Your OM651 GLC Coupe
OM654

OM654 (X253 late/X254, late–present)

A 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel fitted to later X253 and all X254 GLC220d/GLC300d models. No specific known issue confirmed for this application — it's a newer design from the OM651. We service it to the same standard as our other GLC Coupe rebuilds.

Check Your OM654 GLC Coupe
OM656

OM656 (X254, 2022–present)

A 3.0-litre inline-six diesel with mild-hybrid technology, fitted to the GLC400d in the current X254 generation. No specific known issue confirmed for this application — it's a newer design. We service it to the same standard as our other GLC Coupe rebuilds.

Check Your OM656 GLC Coupe
M276

M276 (X253, 2015–2022)

A 3.0-litre V6 petrol fitted to the GLC43 AMG in the first-generation X253. No specific known issue confirmed for this application — it's a well-established Mercedes V6. We service it to the same standard as our other GLC Coupe rebuilds.

Check Your M276 GLC Coupe
M139

M139 (X254, 2022–present)

A 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid petrol fitted to the GLC43 and GLC63 AMG in the current X254 generation. No specific known issue confirmed for this application — it's a very new design and should not inherit the M177/V8 story from the previous generation. We service it to the same standard as our other GLC Coupe rebuilds.

Check Your M139 GLC Coupe
M177

M177 (X253, 2015–2022)

A 4.0-litre V8 petrol fitted to the GLC63 AMG in the first-generation X253. Known for valve seal and coolant system wear — see the callout above. We replace valve seals, coolant components and timing chain components as standard on every M177 rebuild.

MERCEDES GLC COUPE ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Mercedes touring in workshop

Because the GLC Coupe spans multiple distinct engines across two generations — including a significant switch for the AMG variants from the V8 M177 to the 4-cylinder hybrid M139 — we confirm your exact engine code before quoting or supplying anything:

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 GLC-Class quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
