Remapping across St Helens
Wondering whether a remap could cause problems later? In St Helens, the technician reads the fault codes and saves your factory software first, so the engine's health is known and the original file is safe. Engine remaps cost £275 + VAT at your home or workplace.
What we check before remapping in St Helens
Fault memory scanned
Any stored codes are read before we go further, since an existing fault won't be cured by a remap.
Factory software copied
We read the original map off the ECU and keep it.
New map on
The map that suits the vehicle is written once the checks are clear.
Last checks
With the engine running, we look for any fresh codes and go over the new map with you.
Which map fits the way you use your car
A standard car is best matched with a Stage 1 remap, and a car with upgraded hardware with a Stage 2 remap. The price is the same, so it's the parts fitted that decide it.
If you rack up a lot of miles, an economy remap puts mpg first. Working vans that carry loads or tow are better suited to a van remap, with its extra pulling power at lower revs.
Vans and work vehicles in St Helens
We remap vans at business premises across St Helens, slotting the visit in between jobs and covering several vans in one trip where we can. A trade account suits companies with regular work.
Many 2018-on Transit, Transit Custom and Ranger models have the locked Ford SID212 ECU, which is tuned off site instead, with the ECU removed, unlocked and refitted within 7 days for £1,200 + VAT. Read our Ford SID212 guide to find out more.

Told straight if it won't help
When a remap isn't the answer to a problem, we'll explain why before going ahead.
Is remapping safe for my engine?
Mapping an engine with an existing fault is the risk to watch, which is why our first step is a code read. The guide to whether remapping is worth it goes through the common safety concerns.
Can my car go back to standard later?
Yes, because your original software is stored before we change anything. Returning it to standard is charged separately, so ask us for the price.
Will a remap affect my manufacturer warranty?
It could. If your car is still within its warranty period, the manufacturer may reject claims on parts it connects with the remap, so it pays to read the small print beforehand.
What happens if the fault check finds a problem?
We'll explain what we've found and hold off mapping. A diagnostic check for £100 + VAT can locate the fault, and we can remap once it's repaired.
