Frequently Asked Questions
Is the X156 GLA250 4Matic timing chain a known problem?
Yes. The M270 engine used in the GLA250 has documented timing chain tensioner wear, particularly on higher-mileage examples. This manual includes the complete factory procedure for tensioner inspection, chain slack measurement, and replacement — including torque values and special tool requirements.
Does this cover both the pre-facelift and facelifted GLA X156?
Yes. The X156 GLA250 4Matic received a mid-cycle refresh for the 2017 model year. This software covers all variants across the full 2013–2020 production span, including updated electrical schematics and revised suspension geometry data introduced with the facelift.
Are complete wiring diagrams included for the 4Matic AWD system?
Yes. Full circuit diagrams for the 4Matic transfer case control unit, rear axle coupling, ABS/ESP integration, and all associated sensors are included. Connector pinouts, wire colors, and ground locations are documented to support accurate electrical diagnosis.
What format is the manual?
This is official Mercedes-Benz dealer workshop software, not a PDF. It runs on Windows (XP through 11), Mac, and Linux, and features menu-driven navigation, full search by engine code or gearbox code, zoom-in illustrations, and integrated wiring diagrams.
