Ford Kuga remapping
A Kuga loaded with the family and a week's luggage can feel sluggish on the motorway, and a remap gives the engine more to work with. We remap Kugas at your home or work for £275 + VAT, after reading the fault codes.
Reasons to remap a Kuga
- Towing a small caravan or trailer makes the Kuga work hard on hills
- The car needs a lot of revs to overtake when it's full
- A 2.0 TDCi doing big mileage could use an economy map
- You'd like quicker response from a 150, 180 or 2.5T
What a remap changes on a Kuga
A remap adjusts the engine's boost and fuel settings, so the Kuga pulls with more conviction from low revs. On a 2.0 TDCi, that means less gear-changing with a load on, and on the 1.5 EcoBoost it makes the engine feel less strained.
Work worth pairing with a Kuga remap
Gearbox map
If your Kuga has an automatic gearbox, a £195 + VAT gearbox remap sets the shifts to match. Both maps together are £440 + VAT.
Diagnostics
Any warning light gets checked first with diagnostics at £100 + VAT.
What we do about it
We read the codes and keep a copy of the Kuga's software, then write the new map for £275 + VAT. The codes are read again before we leave, and we explain the changes.
Will a remap make my Kuga feel different with a full car?
Yes, that's where it shows. The Kuga copes better with passengers and luggage on board.
Can a remap improve my Kuga's mpg?
On a 2.0 TDCi, an economy map is written to lower fuel use. Your saving depends on your mileage and routes.
Should faults be fixed before the Kuga is remapped?
Yes. We read the codes first and won't map over a live fault.
Can a remap cause problems on a Kuga?
Not on a sound Kuga with a properly written map. We check for faults first for that reason.
