About this file
What this Stage 1 file is
This is a Stage 1 tune of the factory calibration of the 2008 MB ML 280 CDI (140 kW, 190 hp), for its Bosch EDC16CP31 ECU with software 386940 (1037386940). Stage 1 is software only: the car keeps its standard turbo, injectors, intercooler and exhaust.
Stage 1 on the 280 CDI raises the injected fuel, the boost and the rail pressure and lifts the torque limiters, within what the standard turbo, injectors and clutch hold. The smoke limiter follows the new airflow, so a healthy engine pulls harder without black smoke.
The MB ML 280 CDI carries the 280 CDI engine, 190 hp and 440 Nm from the factory. On this engine, Stage 1 usually gives about 260 hp and 570 Nm (+70 hp, +130 Nm). Typical figures for a healthy engine: your car's own result depends on its condition, fuel and parts.
For software 386940 of the MB ML 280 CDI we sell the original and Stage 1, each made from the same original read. Every file downloads straight after payment.
The Bosch EDC16CP31 ECU in this car is read and written over OBD and on the bench, with tools such as Autotuner, MagicMotorsport FLEX, CMD Flash, Dimsport New Genius, Dimsport New Trasdata and Alientech Kess V2. Keep your own read: compare its hardware and software numbers with the ones on this page before you write the file.
DPF off, EGR off, DTC off, speed limiter (Vmax) off, swirl flaps off and start/stop off can be added to this file on request, for off-road and competition use: send us your read through our file service and our engineers add them (any file £50, from £30 in packs).
Software 386940 (1037386940) is the calibration inside the Bosch ECU.
