Mercedes-Benz GLA Sump Replacement Parts

The Mercedes-Benz GLA first generation (X156) ran from 2014 to 2019, so both a 2015 and a 2018 car sit within the same generation — however, fitment of the sump depends on the engine code rather than the year alone, and ancillary mounting details can change mid-production even within a generation. Always match the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check to the donor car's engine code before buying. Confirm the exact compatibility with the breaker against your registration to be safe.

The GLA 200 and GLA 220 are badges, not engine codes — the sump follows the engine, not the badge, so what matters is whether both cars share the same engine code. A 2.1-litre diesel GLA 220 d will use a different sump to a 1.6-litre petrol GLA 200, for example. Pull the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check, ask the breaker to match it exactly, and never rely on the model name alone.

The GLA X156 received a facelift in 2017, and while many mechanical components carried over, whether the sump interchanges across that 2017 boundary is not something to assume. Name the boundary to the breaker — tell them your car is pre-facelift (2014–2017) or post-facelift (2017–2019) — and give them your engine code so they can confirm whether the part crosses that line safely. Do not purchase across the facelift boundary without the breaker confirming fitment against your registration.

Trim levels like Sport and AMG Line are cosmetic and equipment packages; they do not affect which sump the engine takes. A GLA with an AMG Line badge uses exactly the same sump as a Sport-trimmed car if they share the same engine code. The engine code is the only thing that matters here, so match that and ignore the trim name entirely.

Gearbox type can influence sump design on some engines, particularly where the transmission shares an oil circuit or where the sump casting accommodates different ancillaries. It is worth telling the breaker whether your GLA is automatic or manual so they can check the part number on the donor car matches yours. Confirm this detail against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

The second-generation GLA (H247) launched in 2020 and is a substantially different car from the first-generation X156 (2014–2019), with new engine families, so the sumps are not interchangeable between generations. Even engines with similar displacements were revised, so an H247 sump will not simply swap onto an X156 engine. Always confirm the generation and engine code with the breaker and quote your registration so they can verify the correct part.
