Chip tuning for Mercedes A 220 (2.0T) 190 hp ECU
Mercedes A (2018 - W177) 220 (2.0T) 190 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart, EQ) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 190 to 250 hp (+60 hp, +32%) and torque from 300 to 400 Nm (+100 Nm). ECU — Bosch MED17.7.7. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. A 2018 petrol engine — the latest era of encrypted firmware; OBD access is available on production units, Bench on sport models.
The Mercedes slogan is 'Das Beste oder nichts' ('The best or nothing'). Smart is Mercedes's city sub-brand, historically running Mitsubishi and Renault engines. Karl Benz is credited as the inventor of the automobile with the 1886 Patent-Motorwagen. Maybach uses Mercedes engines for the ultra-luxury segment, with the emphasis on quietness and smoothness. Mid-range Mercedes turbo petrol engines are a mainstream Stage 1 subject. Mercedes encryption is among the toughest in the industry, especially on modern models.
Stage 1 on standard mid-range Mercedes petrol engines delivers a noticeable gain. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. The Mercedes community is active in Europe, with a large pool of available Stage files. Mid-range Mercedes engines are a premium segment with a conservative factory calibration, and Stage 1 preserves engine life.
