Chip tuning for Renault Clio 1.9 DCI 80 hp ECU
Renault Clio (2001 - II) 1.9 DCI 80 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance group (Франция, 1899). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 80 to 110 hp (+30 hp, +38%) and torque from 160 to 235 Nm (+75 Nm). ECU — Bosch EDC15C3. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. Diesel engines built in 2001 — the era of classic Common Rail without strong encryption.
Renault is a French carmaker, founded in 1899. Renault diesel engines are also used in Nissan, Dacia and Mercedes (the Citan/Vito run Renault engines).
Within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, ECUs are partly standardised, so some files carry over between brands. The Renault community in France and Eastern Europe offers a large pool of ready-made Stage files. On naturally aspirated Renault engines, the main effect is on throttle response. Low-output Renault engines are city-segment units; Stage 1 is safe.
