Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d Stage 1 Remap

Name: Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d Stage 1 Remap
Brand: Mercedes-Benz

On Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d diesel engines a Stage 1 remap recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. No hardware is changed and the original software is backed up. The same engine is sold with different stock outputs across generations, so the gain depends on your version.

How much bhp does Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d chip tuning add?

It depends on the generation and the stock output. 220d engines with 177–190 bhp reach 210–220 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +33 bhp (X156 220d (2.2D) 177hp). Pick your version in the table below.

About the Mercedes-Benz OM654 2.0 diesel (post-2016 180d / 200d / 220d / 300d)

The OM654 is Mercedes' aluminium-block diesel introduced with the E-Class in 2016 and used in the C, E, GLC, CLS, Vito and Sprinter from 150 to 265 hp. It is equipped with AdBlue and a DPF.

How a Stage 1 remap works on the Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d

Stage 1 recalibrates rail pressure, injection, boost and the torque limiter. Together with the 9G-Tronic gearbox, a full torque delivery from low revs results; overtaking and long-distance comfort improve clearly. Emissions systems are preserved.

Pre-remap checklist

AdBlue system and NOx sensor health.
DPF load.
Oil service and the correct oil specification.
Gearbox oil service.

Frequently asked questions

How much bhp does Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d chip tuning add?

It depends on the generation and the stock output. 220d engines with 177–190 bhp reach 210–220 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +33 bhp (X156 220d (2.2D) 177hp). Pick your version in the table below.

What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 on the Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d?

Stage 1 is software only: no part of the car is changed and the figures in the table apply to this software. Stage 2 is software prepared for hardware changes such as the exhaust, intercooler or intake; the hardware comes first, then the software.

Will chip tuning damage the engine?

No. Values stay inside the safety margin the manufacturer leaves; engine, gearbox and turbo limits are not exceeded. Every file is verified with a road test and data logging. If the car needs maintenance first (worn injectors, blocked filter, weak clutch) we tell you before starting.

Will my fuel consumption go up?

With the same driving style it usually drops, because you hold the same speed at lower revs and less throttle. If you use the extra power, consumption naturally rises. It is down to your right foot.

How long does it take? Do I leave the car?

Most cars take 1–2 hours and you get the car back the same day; no need to leave it. Some models need the ECU removed, which takes longer — we tell you when booking.

Can I go back to stock later?

Yes. The original file is read and archived before any work. We restore the factory software free of charge whenever you ask.

What is checked on the Mercedes-Benz GLA 220d before remapping?

Before working on the Mercedes-Benz OM654 2.0 diesel (post-2016 180d / 200d / 220d / 300d) we check: AdBlue system and NOx sensor health. DPF load. Oil service and the correct oil specification. Gearbox oil service. If something needs attention, maintenance comes first; the remap is applied to a healthy engine.
