Mercedes V300d 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 V300D uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the V-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 V300dENGINE OPTIONS

Every V300D is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.

01MOST POPULAR

REBUILDING YOUR V300D ENGINE

We rebuild the engine your V300D 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 V300D 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 V300D ENGINES

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

Learn more
04

REMANUFACTURED V300D ENGINES

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

05

REPLACEMENT V300D 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 V300D 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 V300D ENGINE

Mercedes AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The V300d is the current top-spec diesel variant in the V-Class range, using the OM654 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine. This engine is part of Mercedes' modern modular diesel family and is shared across the wider commercial vehicle range, including the current Vito. The V300d shares its platform and 2025 refresh with the Vito, confirming genuine current demand and ongoing parts support.

We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every V300D on the road.

MERCEDES V300D ENGINE CODES

M256

M256 (R190, 2023–present)

A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the V300D 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 V300D ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Mercedes touring in workshop

Because the V-Class uses the OM654 engine family across its current range, engine matching and compatibility are straightforward but still critical. 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 V-Class quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
