Mercedes GLE53 AMG 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 GLE53 AMG uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the GLE-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 GLE53 AMGENGINE OPTIONS
Every GLE53 AMG is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR GLE53 AMG ENGINE
We rebuild the engine your GLE53 AMG 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 GLE53 AMG 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 GLE53 AMG ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT GLE53 AMG ENGINES

Learn moreUSED GLE53 AMG 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 GLE53 AMG ENGINE
The GLE53 AMG sits at the performance end of the GLE-Class range, using AMG's version of the M256 — a 3.0-litre inline-six petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance. It's been fitted since the V167 generation launched in 2019, and remains in production today. The Coupe body style was added in 2021, but the engine itself is the same across both body styles.
We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every GLE53 AMG on the road.
MERCEDES GLE53 AMG ENGINE CODES
M256 (R190, 2023–present)
A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the GLE53 AMG 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.
