How much does an M282 engine replacement cost?

A reconditioned M282 typically costs £2,500–£5,000 supply only, with fitting adding £600–£1,100 depending on labour rates [ESTIMATED]. Used examples can be found from £1,000; rebuilds range from £3,500–£6,000.

Is the M282 a reliable engine?

The M282 rates 3.0★ out of 5 — a modern, efficient turbo-four with good performance, but known for thermostat housing coolant leaks, oil consumption, and carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection. Regular maintenance is essential.

What is the most common M282 failure?

Thermostat housing coolant leaks are the most common issue — plastic housing cracks cause coolant loss and potential overheating. Camshaft centre bolt faults and turbocharger oil feed line leaks (recalled on 2019–2020 models) are also well-documented.

Which Mercedes models use the M282?

The M282 powers the A‑Class W177/V177 (A 180/A 200), B‑Class W247 (B 180/B 200), CLA C118/X118 (CLA 180/CLA 200), GLA H247 (GLA 180/GLA 200), and GLB X247 (GLB 180/GLB 200) — spanning 2018 to present.

How long does the M282 last?

With proper maintenance, 150,000–200,000 miles is achievable. Carbon buildup on intake valves typically requires cleaning around 60,000–80,000 miles; thermostat housing should be inspected at similar intervals. Oil consumption often increases past 100,000 km.
