Citroen is a French carmaker, founded in 1919 by Andre Citroen. Citroen has a history of innovation, from hydropneumatic suspension to front-wheel drive. Citroen shares platforms and engines with Peugeot, Opel/Vauxhall and DS within Stellantis. DPF/SCR with AdBlue (BlueHDi) is standard on Euro-6 Citroen diesels.

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