About this remap

Mercedes A 180d (1.5) 116 hp Stage 1 — what changes

The Mercedes A 180d (1.5) 116 hp (2018–) leaves the factory at 116 BHP and 260 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 180d (1.5) 116 hp powertrain (diesel). The result is 140 BHP and 310 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
