ECU Tune - AMG CLA45 - C118

Has anyone got a tune on their C118 AMG CLA45?
I don't see much out there by way of reviews. Just wondering with the Euro 45s being just a boost change if a tune makes a significant amount of power on top of a 45s.

Is anyone brave enough to tune their nearly new (still in warranty) C118?

I'm not looking for a vendor, I'm looking for reviews, from people that have gotten a tune for their car. I guess they are few and far between.

Hi there,

I'm currently driving a tuned C118 AMG CLA45 S and this is the before/after dyno chart.

The car has been running on RON 100 fuel since the day it left the dealer, and everything else is stock.

Although I am from Malaysia, it was remotely tuned by a friend from US.

Hi Sir, mind to share the tuning cost? Thx.

cla45s amg x118
Stage 2 no air intake just K&N

Decat , and that euro6d ecu tune was a hassle I was lucky posaidon told me my cpc was still an earlier gen so I got vmax removed. Kept my tune pretty low becausey car still not even a year . If I get my e venturi I'm might go turn it op u little more but for now I'm

very happy Especially the torque is very noticable and yeah.....that sound . This is how an amg should sound

What happens to the transmission when you up the power?

It has no idea when to downshift or upshift sometimes.

I spoke to my friend at Benz (manager) and will not void the warranties. I am going to take mine in soon to have it done.

Proceed with caution. I’m not sure if it’s his call to make. Perhaps a dealer you are cool with may be willing to help you out but what if your buddy isn’t there in 6 months, or what if the manufacturer asks specifically for key cycles or information that leads to the discovery of the vehicle being tuned? Unless this is an aftermarket warranty, I would be very cautious. If the tune causes the failure and MB can point to the tune as the cause of the failure they will most likely deny any warranty work.

Yeah... I'm also very skeptical. They may not void your warranty in general but you will definitely be denied any drivetrain claims.

This is my biggest fear with this tune. Any more advice from people who have been there? I want that throaty sound I had in my M440 with M Power Kit and M Performance. Also love the idea of being even more stealthy in being able to pretty much take everything on the road.

If you want more sound and to not have to worry about warranty issues I would get a catback exhaust. This car is already faster than 99.9% of vehicles on the road and a tune will make the car a little faster but it’s not like it’s going to totally transform the performance and put you in another tier of performance vehicles.
