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. Citroen is part of the Stellantis group (formerly PSA Peugeot Citroen). Low-output Citroen diesels are city units, and Stage 1 is safe.
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.
