Assessment

The Mercedes-Benz E 280 CDI 177hp is a 3.2L turbocharged diesel engine producing 177 BHP and 425 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 240 BHP and 570 Nm — a gain of around 63 BHP (36%) and 145 Nm (34%).

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: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. 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.

All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
