Mercedes CLS (2018 - C257) 300d (2.0) 245 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 245 to 265 hp (+20 hp, +8%) and torque from 500 to 550 Nm (+50 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch MD1CP001, Bosch VGS3-NAG3. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 2 configurations · 2 ECU variants. A modern diesel built in 2018 — a generation with encrypted firmware (Tricore TPROT) that often requires a Bench read.
Mercedes-Benz is the world's oldest carmaker, founded in 1926 by the merger of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie. 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. Mercedes pioneered CDI (Common-rail Direct Injection) technology on passenger-car diesels, in series production since 1997. Mercedes diesels have long been popular with the German police and taxi services. Mercedes diesel engines are fitted to passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. On modern Mercedes, the encryption requires specialised Bench tools. High-output Mercedes engines are premium-class with solid headroom for Stage 1.
