Most of the news this summer has been about opening the newest locked ECUs. In the background Autotuner has also been adding older units, the cars that turn up in a working garage every week and that the modern tools had quietly stopped supporting. All of these are over OBD.
What was added
- Bosch EDC15C6: Mercedes Sprinter 208 to 515 CDI (2000 to 2006), Vito and Viano CDI, C 200, 220 and 270 CDI (W203), E 200 to 320 CDI (W210 and W211), ML 270 CDI, G 270 CDI, S 320 CDI

What it means
An old Sprinter or Vito is exactly the sort of van that benefits: the 2.1 CDI typically gains 25 to 30 PS and 60 Nm from a Stage 1, and on a 2004 van that has been driven on the limiter for twenty years the extra torque matters more than the number. The small petrols are mostly about a smoke-free, smooth calibration after a decat or for economy. All are quick jobs on the ramp.
