Opel Combo (2020) 1.2 Turbo 130 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis group (Германия, 1862).

Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. A modern petrol engine built in 2020 — a generation with encrypted ECU protection (Tricore TPROT); top engines require Bench.
Opel is a German carmaker from Russelsheim, founded in 1862 (originally making sewing machines). Opel has been part of the Stellantis group since 2017 (formerly GM Europe). Opel and Vauxhall (UK) are the same line-up under different names. PureTech is Citroen's badge for its turbo petrol engines. Modern Citroen petrol engines use Tricore ECUs, often requiring Bench. Citroen turbo petrol engines deliver a noticeable gain with Stage 1.
Within Stellantis, ECUs are standardised, so Opel files (from 2017 on) often work on Peugeot/Citroen. Protection on modern Opel models uses Tricore TPROT, so Bench is required. The Opel community in Germany and the UK generates a large volume of Stage files. Mid-range Citroen engines are a mainstream chip tuning subject in Europe. The French Citroen community has a large pool of ready-made Stage files.
