About this remap

Mercedes Benz C Class C180K 153 bhp Stage 1 — what changes

The Mercedes Benz C Class C180K 153 bhp (2007–2013) leaves the factory at 153 BHP and 230 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.

Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the C180K 153 bhp powertrain (petrol). The result is 165 BHP and 244 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
