Mercedes Vito 116-124 CDI 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 VITO 116-124 CDI uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the Vito 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.

REBUILDING YOUR VITO 116-124 CDI ENGINE

ABOUT THE MERCEDES VITO 116-124 CDI ENGINE

Mercedes AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The Vito 116-124 CDI is the current diesel range for the W447, a high-volume, current-production commercial vehicle with genuine ongoing demand. The range spans a 2.0L turbo-diesel engine from the entry-level Vito 114 (100kW/300Nm) up to the top-shelf V300 Exclusive (174kW/500Nm). Across the W447 generation, the Vito has used two distinct engines: the OM651 in early models, and the OM654 in the current 2025 refresh range.

We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every VITO 116-124 CDI on the road.

M256 (R190, 2023–present)

A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the VITO 116-124 CDI 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.

MERCEDES VITO 116-124 CDI ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Mercedes touring in workshop

Because the W447 Vito 116-124 CDI range spans two distinct engines, fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming an OM651 part will work on an OM654 van — risks a compatibility problem. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm: - Your exact engine code (OM651 or OM654) via registration or VIN - Your generation (early W447 or refreshed 2025) - 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 Vito quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
