Citroen C3 (2003) 1.4 HDI (citroen c3) 68 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis group (Франция, 1919). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 68 to 90 hp (+22 hp, +32%) and torque from 160 to 210 Nm (+50 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch EDC16C0, Bosch EDC16C34, Bosch EDC17C10, Siemens/Continental SID806. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 4 configurations · 4 ECU variants. The 2003 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.

Citroen is part of the Stellantis group (formerly PSA Peugeot Citroen). The Citroen range covers compacts, saloons, SUVs, MPVs and commercial vehicles. Citroen is a French carmaker, founded in 1919 by Andre Citroen. The factory calibration on Citroen diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1.

The Citroen community in France and Western Europe has a large pool of Stage files. ECUs are standardised across Stellantis, so Citroen files often work on Peugeot/Opel/DS. Low-output Citroen engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe. On naturally aspirated Citroen engines, the main effect is on throttle response.
