About this calibration file
The Stage 1 calibration for the 2003 Mercedes-Benz A 160 Turbo Diesel is a drop-in remap that works on completely stock hardware — no turbo, injector, intercooler or fuel-system upgrades required. Injection timing, boost targets, rail-pressure limits and torque maps are rebalanced to extract the safe headroom the OEM leaves untouched for fleet-fuel tolerance, altitude margin and warranty buffer.
This file matches a Bosch ECU with hardware number CRAX-640-C5A2-169WM-060KW-EU4DPF-012 and software version 389341. Verify both identifiers in your flashing tool before writing — an ID mismatch is the most common cause of a bricked ECU. If you are unsure, upload a read of your original file via the file-request wizard and our engineers will confirm compatibility before you flash.
Projected output on a healthy, stock-hardware example of this engine: 165 HP and 380 Nm at the crank — a gain of +29 HP (21%) and +80 Nm over the factory 136 HP / 300 Nm baseline. These numbers are sourced from our Vehicle Performance Database, which aggregates dyno results across this engine family. Real-world gains depend on fuel grade, ambient temperature, mechanical condition and intake/exhaust state.
The file is delivered as a ready-to-flash BIN (and ORI backup where applicable) compatible with all major tools — KESS V2/V3, KTAG, AutoTuner, CMDFlash, Dimsport New Genius, MPPS, Flex, BFlash, PCMFlash, MMFlash — via OBD, bench or boot-mode as supported by your ECU family. Checksums are pre-computed and verified; no additional checksum tool is required. All files include a free revision if post-flash logs reveal a fuelling, boost or EGT issue.
