Remapping across Warrington
Concerned a remap could do more harm than good? In Warrington, every job begins with a fault code read and a saved copy of the factory software, so nothing changes until we know the engine is in good shape. Engine remaps are £275 + VAT at your home or workplace.
What we check before remapping in Warrington
Stored faults read
We connect to the ECU and check for codes, because mapping an engine that already has a fault only makes it worse.
Factory file kept
The original software is copied off the ECU and stored before any changes.
Map written to suit the vehicle
With the checks clear, the Stage 1, Stage 2, economy or van map is written.
A run and a walk-through
The engine is started and rechecked for codes, and we explain what's different before leaving.
Picking the right remap for your vehicle
Standard cars usually get the best balance from a Stage 1 map, while a Stage 2 map is for engines already running upgraded parts. Both cost the same, so the decision rests on the hardware fitted.
Cars and vans covering lots of miles tend to suit an economy remap, set up with mpg in mind. A van that's loaded all day or pulls a trailer is better off with a van remap, where the extra torque sits low in the rev range.
Vans and work vehicles in Warrington
If your vans live at a yard or depot in Warrington, we can remap them there between jobs, and several on one visit where that works for you. Fleets can register for a trade account.
Transit, Transit Custom and Ranger models with Ford's locked SID212 ECU can be remapped too, though the ECU is unlocked off site and the job takes 7 days at £1,200 + VAT. The Ford SID212 guide has the background.

Advice when a remap won't help
If the engine has a problem mapping can't fix, you'll hear that from us first.
Is remapping safe for my engine?
The real risk is remapping an engine with an existing fault, so the codes are checked before anything else. For more on the safety side, see our guide on whether remapping is worth it.
Can my car go back to standard later?
It can, since we keep the original software from your ECU before the new map goes on. Putting the original back is a separate job with its own charge.
Will a remap affect my manufacturer warranty?
Possibly. Claims on parts such as the turbo or clutch may be refused after a remap, so check the terms if your car is still covered.
What happens if the fault check finds a problem?
We'll pause and explain the codes. A diagnostic check at £100 + VAT can pin the fault down, and the remap can follow once it's repaired.
