Mercedes B (2005 - W245) 180 CDI (2.0) 109 hp — premium diesel 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 109 to 150 hp (+41 hp, +38%) and torque from 250 to 310 Nm (+60 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch EDC16C32, Bosch EDC17C43. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations · 2 ECU variants. Diesel engines built in 2005 — the era of classic Common Rail without strong encryption.

4MATIC all-wheel drive is Mercedes' signature system, fitted to most models. The Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Daimler AG until 2022) comprises Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart and the EQ line. AMG is the performance division of Mercedes (since 1967), building engines on the 'one man, one engine' principle in Affalterbach. The factory calibration on Mercedes diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1 while preserving engine life. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Mercedes diesels. On older Mercedes diesels, Stage 1 is flashed over OBD with no complications.

In the Mercedes commercial segment, Stage 1 focuses on torque. 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.
