Mercedes AdBlue Diesel 2 Channel KD-Box Performance Upgrade by Kleemann
Mercedes AdBlue System began with 2009 model years.
The Kleemann KD-Box is an efficient performance product for all Mercedes-Benz CDI models and also for most of the new BlueTec and BlueEfficiency engines.
The KD-Box is a highly convenient tuning solution as it is fitted only by cables and plugs with no need to open the engine control unit (ECU) or to replace any components. The KD-Box is adjustable and can adapt to the characteristics of the individual engine, ensuring a perfect power curve and at the same time preventing overload. In addition to the increased levels of power and torque (up to 25%) the KD-Box provides a sharper throttle response for maximum driving pleasure, and has been shown to improve fuel economy in many cases.
BlueTEC is a trademark name used by Mercedes-Benz to describe its diesel engine exhaust treatment system. In order to keep up with the steadily evolving and increasingly demanding emissions laws of North America and Europe, the company has designed and released two versions of this system. Version one was released for the U.S. market in the form of the 2007 E320 BlueTEC sedan and was designed to utilize, the then newly introduced, Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). As a next step, Mercedes-Benz has released the more sophisticated R, ML and GL 320 series BlueTECs with AdBlue injection diesels that meet America's demanding BIN 5 emissions standards and are on-track to qualify for Europe's EU6 parameters.

Like the original KD-Box, this is a rebranded Diesel Power box that costs less. Kleemann sucks and refuses to acknowledge this (I only found out after buying the original KD-Box). I have the Diesel Power version, and it's only OK. If you bump it up too much, it's easy to send your car into Limp Home mode where it can't rev over 2000RPM.
