Mercedes GLK250 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 GLK250 uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the GLK-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 GLK250ENGINE OPTIONS
Every GLK250 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR GLK250 ENGINE
We rebuild the engine your GLK250 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 GLK250 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 GLK250 ENGINES
Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED GLK250 ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the M256.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT GLK250 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 GLK250 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 GLK250 ENGINE
The GLK250 was part of the single-generation X204 GLK-Class range, produced from 2008 to 2015 before it was succeeded by the GLC-Class. It is powered by the M271 — a 1.8-litre inline-four petrol engine. This engine was a common Mercedes powerplant of its era, also found in the C-Class and E-Class of the same period. The GLK250 offers a balance of performance and efficiency, making it a popular choice within the GLK lineup. The GLK-Class was discontinued in 2015, 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 GLK250 on the road.
MERCEDES GLK250 ENGINE CODES
M256 (R190, 2023–present)
A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the GLK250 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 GLK250MERCEDES GLK250 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
Because the GLK250 only uses a single engine code (M271) across its entire production run, compatibility is straightforward. However, we still always confirm your vehicle's exact specification via its registration number before any work begins. This ensures every part we order is correct and your rebuild is flawless.
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 GLK-Class quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
