The Mercedes-Benz A 170 CDI 90hp is a 1.7L turbocharged diesel engine producing 90 BHP and 180 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 115 BHP and 230 Nm — a gain of around 25 BHP (28%) and 50 Nm (28%).
This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
Considerations: Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.. Older diesel: injector, turbo and intake condition can affect results; ensure maintenance is up to date.
Fuel economy note: possible improvement with conservative driving.
