Opel Vivaro (2015) 1.6 CDTI 115 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Stellantis group (Германия, 1862). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 115 to 145 hp (+30 hp, +26%) and torque from 320 to 400 Nm (+80 Nm). ECU — Bosch EDC17C42. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2015 generation — mid-generation diesels on the EDC17 platform with OBD reading support and no need for 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. The Citroen diesel range is fully shared with Peugeot, Opel and DS within Stellantis.

On Opel diesels, Stage 1 delivers a noticeable torque gain. Within Stellantis, ECUs are standardised, so Opel files (from 2017 on) often work on Peugeot/Citroen. On older-generation Opel models, Stage 1 is done via OBD without bench. 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.
