*how long will it take to remap my vehicle?

A Plug and Play tuning module or a custom written OBD remap will usually take around 1 hour, depending on the vehicle. However, some vehicles especially those requiring bench tuning can take much longer. Get in contact with us for an idea of how long it will take us to tune your vehicle.

*can a remap be reversed?

Absolutely. We offer this service. We’ll be very surprised if that’s what you want after taking one of our remap products, however in the case of lease cars some customers prefer to put the car back to standard before returning the car.

*do i need to notify my insurance company?

You should notify your insurance company of any modification to your vehicle. Many insurance companies do not penalise you for upgrades of this nature, particularly if you’re tuning for increased economy however a failure to disclose modifications may invalidate your policy. You may wish to enquire with your insurer if the modification will affect your policy prior to choosing one of our services.

*will the lifespan of my engine be reduced?

No. Our remaps are designed specifically to improve the performance of your vehicle whilst remaining within the tolerances of your vehicles’ components.

Sadly, in attempt to achieve ‘big numbers’ some other companies over tune engines, placing excessive stress on the engine, transmission, cooling systems, etc, leading to reduced life span and reliability of the vehicle. We pride ourselves in producing reliable remaps which do not over stress your vehicle but still produce impressive results.

*what happens if the main dealer wipes my map?

This can happen if you take your vehicle back to the main dealers for any servicing, repair, software updates or recalls.  They take the opportunity to overwrite your ECU software and apply OBD tuning protection.  If this happens then bring the vehicle back in and we will take a fresh read of your ECU and write you a new map file.  This is not something we can do for free but as a returning customer we will offer you a reduced tune.

*why choose remapping over a tuning box?

ECU remapping is far superior to the diesel tuning boxes. When we remap an ECU, it optimises various settings and parameters the ECU controls that a tuning box cannot as diesel tuning boxes can only give more fuel pressure. Beware of cheap tuning boxes for sale as these can lead to problems or not have any effect on the vehicle’s performance at all.

*are dpf/egr/adblue solutions Illegal?

YES THEY ARE! – They are also an MOT Fail.  We do not provide any mechanics and any solutions are ONLY provided for off road us only.

You must provide proof that you do not intend on using on the roads and also sign a disclaimer saying that you are aware it is illegal and only intend on using it for off road usage.

* Please note; these solutions are for OFF ROAD USE ONLY. They are software solutions and not the physical removal or disabling of these functions. Regulation 61a of the road vehicles (constructions and use) regulations.

*are you mobile or do you have a garage i can come to?

We are a mobile service only and do not have a garage you can visit.  We will only carry out any work at your home or workplace.

*do you offer a warranty on your remaps?

All of our remaps come with a lifetime software warranty.  If you have any problems please get in touch with us.  If you have a remap done with us, we keep a backup of your original map incase you would like to return to it in the future.

*are your tuners genuine or clone?

All of our tuning and diagnostic equipment is genuine and registered.  We use the same tuners as a garage would use.  We do not use clones!
