Chip tuning for Dacia Sandero 1.6i MPI 85 hp ECU
Dacia Sandero (2008 - I) 1.6i MPI 85 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance (через Renault) group (Румыния, 1966). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 85 to 90 hp (+5 hp, +6%) and torque from 134 to 142 Nm (+8 Nm). ECU — Valeo V42. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2008 generation — old-era petrol ECUs (ME7/ME9/MED9/Simos) with easily readable memory.
Dacia is a Romanian carmaker, founded in 1966 and owned by Renault since 1999. Dacia uses Renault engines and platforms. Dacia positions itself as an affordable alternative to Renault — the same quality at a lower price. Dacia uses Renault's TCe turbo-petrol engines. Low-output Dacia petrol engines are naturally aspirated city-segment units.
The Dacia community in Eastern Europe and the CIS enjoys a large library of ready-made Stage files. Within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, ECUs are standardised, so Dacia files often work on Renault. Low-output Dacia engines are city-segment units; Stage 1 is safe.
