Mercedes-Benz GLA Oil Pump Replacement Parts

Yes, every petrol and diesel engine variant of the GLA has an oil pump — it is a fundamental engine component that all internal combustion engines require to circulate oil around the engine. Because it is buried deep within the engine, it is a genuine repair part that breakers do stock, typically stripped from salvaged GLA engines. You should be able to source one from a dismantler, but the key is matching it to your exact engine code rather than just the model name.

The engine code is the single most important detail for matching an oil pump — it determines the exact pump specification far more reliably than the year or badge on the car. You can find your engine code on your V5C logbook or by running a VIN check, and it will look something like M270, M274, OM607, or OM651 depending on your variant. Always give the breaker your full engine code alongside your registration, as oil pumps are engineered to match specific engine families and are not interchangeable across different codes.

The GLA X156 ran from 2013 to 2019, with a facelift arriving around 2017 that brought styling and equipment updates but did not fundamentally change the core engine lineup. Because oil pump fitment follows the engine code rather than the facelift date, a pump from a pre-facelift GLA could potentially match a post-facelift car if they share the same engine code — but whether there were any ancillary or mounting changes introduced at the facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The second-generation GLA H247 launched in 2020 and is a substantially different vehicle from the X156, with new engine families including updated M260 and OM654 units that replaced the previous generation's engines. An oil pump from an H247 is very unlikely to be compatible with an X156, even where the fuel type appears the same, because the engine architecture changed significantly between generations. Always quote your generation, engine code, and registration to the breaker so they can confirm compatibility precisely.

Trim level has no bearing on oil pump fitment whatsoever — Sport, AMG Line, Urban, and Executive trims are differentiated by cosmetic and equipment differences such as alloy wheel design, interior trim, and body styling, none of which affect the engine internally. What matters entirely is your engine code, which can be the same across multiple trim levels. Quote your engine code and fuel type to the breaker and ignore the trim name when searching for this part.

The 220d badge indicates a 2.1-litre or 2.0-litre diesel depending on the generation — earlier X156 220d models used the OM651 engine while later examples and the H247 generation moved to the OM654, so the badge alone is not enough to guarantee a match. You should confirm your exact engine code from the V5C or a VIN check and give this to the breaker, as oil pumps differ between these engine families. Matching on engine code rather than badge or year alone is the safest approach, and the breaker can verify against your registration.
