Mercedes Sprinter (petrol) 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 SPRINTER (PETROL) uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the Sprinter 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 SPRINTER (PETROL) ENGINE

Near-new performance with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.

ABOUT THE MERCEDES SPRINTER (PETROL) ENGINE

Mercedes AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The petrol Sprinter arrived with the VS30 facelift in 2023, a significant change that added a 2.0-litre turbo petrol option to the range for the first time in the current generation. It uses an M270-family 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, producing 188hp and driving the rear wheels only — it's a different unit from the diesel OM654 that replaced the outgoing V6, and sits alongside it in the current Sprinter range.

We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every SPRINTER (PETROL) on the road.

MERCEDES SPRINTER (PETROL) ENGINE CODES

M256

M256 (R190, 2023–present)

A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the SPRINTER (PETROL) 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 SPRINTER (PETROL) ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Mercedes touring in workshop

The petrol Sprinter is a specific RWD-only variant of the VS30 facelift range, distinct from the diesel OM654 Sprinters that make up the bulk of the range. 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 Sprinter quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
