2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz GLA250? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your GLA250’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your GLA250 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my GLA250's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2016 GLA250’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz GLA250 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz GLA250 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your GLA250 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz GLA250 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your GLA250 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
