The 2005 generation — old-era petrol ECUs (ME7/ME9/MED9/Simos) with easily readable memory.

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. PureTech is Citroen's badge for its turbo petrol engines. The Citroen petrol range is shared with Peugeot and Opel within Stellantis. Low-output Citroen petrol engines are naturally aspirated city units, so the gain is modest.

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.
