F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Car remapping is the process of modifying the software in your car’s engine control unit (ECU) to enhance performance, improve fuel efficiency, and offer a smoother driving experience. By adjusting parameters such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and boost pressure, remapping optimises your vehicle’s power output and efficiency.
EGR is a system that recycles exhaust gases back into the engine to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Over time, the EGR valve can clog with carbon deposits, leading to poor engine performance, rough idling, and increased fuel consumption. EGR deletes help to prevent these issues by disabling the system, leading to improved engine efficiency and reliability.
Remapping can increase horsepower, improve throttle response, enhance fuel economy, and reduce engine strain. It also provides a smoother and more responsive driving experience, particularly in turbocharged and diesel vehicles.
A DPF is designed to capture and store soot particles from diesel engine exhaust. However, if the filter becomes clogged due to short trips or poor regeneration, it can cause engine problems such as reduced performance and increased fuel consumption. DPF deletes can prevent these issues and improve engine efficiency, although they may not be legal in all regions.
AdBlue is a fluid used in diesel vehicles to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. Problems can arise if the AdBlue system malfunctions, such as issues with the AdBlue tank, sensors, or pump. If you’re experiencing issues, we can provide an AdBlue delete as part of our remapping services to bypass these problems.
Carbon cleaning is a process that removes carbon buildup from your vehicle’s engine, intake valves, and fuel system. Over time, carbon deposits can accumulate, affecting engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Carbon cleaning helps restore engine health, improve fuel consumption, and reduce the risk of future engine damage.
Remapping your car may void the manufacturer’s warranty in some cases. However, many remapping services are reversible, so you can return the car to its original state if necessary. Always check with your manufacturer or dealer before remapping to understand the potential impact on your warranty.
A typical remapping session takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the vehicle and the services requested. We ensure minimal disruption to your day, providing efficient and reliable remapping solutions.
When done correctly, remapping is completely safe and can improve engine performance without causing harm to your vehicle. It is important to have the process performed by a professional to ensure the ECU adjustments are done properly and the car runs optimally. This emphasises the importance of using a custom remap like we provide unlike generic of the shelf files found else where online.
While remapping improves performance, regular maintenance, including oil changes, air filter replacements, and other essential car care, should still be followed. Carbon cleaning and addressing EGR or DPF issues can also be part of regular maintenance for optimal vehicle performance.
Yes, remapping can improve fuel economy by optimising engine parameters like fuel injection and boost pressure. With a more efficient engine tune, your vehicle may achieve better miles per gallon (MPG), particularly on long journeys or highway driving.
Yes, remapping can be fully reversed. We provide a custom file service and take a complete backup of your vehicle’s original ECU settings before making any changes. This ensures that we can restore your car to its factory settings if needed, giving you peace of mind and flexibility.
