Car/Van ECU Remapping in Lincoln, Lincolnshire & Surrounding areas.
Prices are assumed your vehicles ECU flash can be accessed via OBD.
Some ECUs need removing and accessing outside of the vehicle - in such a case an additional charge is applicable & vehicle dependant e.g. if your ECU is easily removed in the engine bay (e.g. many BMWs, Peugeots etc) the charge is less than those that are located in wheel arches or not easily accessible in the engine bay (e.g. Fords).
Some ECUs have a plate covering the ECU with snap-bolts that need grinding out, such instances you would need to remove this plate yourself.
Deletes Available
DPF Delete
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) get blocked or become ineffecient. Can also be clogged by failed EGR valve.
Example codes: P200200 Effeciency below requirements; P242F Ash Accumulation.
Required after removal DPF internals.
EGR Delete
EGR electrical units can fail. EGR valves can mechanically stick. Causing reduced power, EML illuminated, rough running, can flag catalyst efficiency codes, air flow metering faults.
Adblue Delete
Common failures can be the adblue injection pumps become crystalised and blocked. Injector blocked reducing efficiency. Level senders defective. Ultimately when the countdown to non-start begins you need to fix the fault before your vehicle stops running.
Lambda/O2 Delete
Lambda sensors measure oxygen levels within the exhaust gasses to allow fuel trim adjustments within the engine. Sensor 2 monitors the catalyst efficiency. Example codes P0420; P0430 effeciency faults.
Only recommend for off-road vehicles as will affect fuel effeciency and emmissions.
DTC Code Deletes
Struggling to clear certain P codes? Or do codes keep returning? P codes can be removed. Example codes P253F oil dilution which can cause EML and stop regenerations. Also common P200200 efficiency code. Peugeot can have an upper and lower air flow limit code hard to fully pinpoint aswell as other ghost codes that won't clear, even following a repair.
Popcorn/Hardcut (Diesel)
Pop & Bang on petrols can create the loud 'pop' 'bang' sound during gear changing.
The Diesel equivilent is the Hardcut Limiter which cuts fuel supply at a specified RPM and then reinitiates it to create an equivilent popping noise under heavy acceleration.
ECOnomy, Stage 1 & Stage 2 MAP
Economy Tuning
Increasingly popular with rising fuel prices, we are able to re-calibrate the ECU data to improve fuel efficiency. The increase in torque will allow less gear changes and accelerator pedal movement thus resulting in improved MPG and driveability. Economy Tuning is for Turbo Diesel vehicles only.
Stage 1 Tuning
Designed for a standard and unmodified vehicle with no hardware upgrades. A Stage 1 Remap increases power and torque while also improving fuel efficiency. Removes flat spots and gives a more responsive drive without compromising reliability.
Stage 2 Tuning
Bigger increase in power and torque than a Stage 1 Remap, efficiency will still improve but not as dramatically as a Stage 1 Tune. Often hardware upgrades are required before a Stage 2 Remap can be applied. Removes flat spots and gives a more responsive drive without compromising reliability.
How long it takes & how is it done?
Reading an ECU depends on the vehicle. Some can be done via OBD and some I need to remove the ECU and connect to it directly in which case removing and refitting takes longer.
For ECUs that can be connected via OBD anywhere from 45minutes - 1.5hrs depending on read and write times. For removal usually 1hr - 2hrs. Where there is an Adblue delete, sometimes longer as some vehicles require the Adblue module and/or pump disconnecting.
It may also take longer where further adjustments to files is required. This is rare, but some vehicles, mostly Fords sometimes require adjustments of Checksums if the vehicle rejects the modification. Some Peugeots also need the vehicle locking and leaving for the ECUs to power down before starting the vehicle. All of which is very standard and of no concern.
Can all vehicles be modified?
In short, NO!
Most ECUs can, many cannot. Manufacturers often LOCK ECUs. Many have a workaround so this isn't an issue, but some don't. For example, Transit Custom SID212 hasn't been cracked by any tool supplier yet.
Also, different tool manufacturers have cracked different ECUs, so where my tool will not access your ECU but another tool will, I will refer you to another mapping supplier that might be able to assist instead.
Are there any risks?
All writes via OBD are made safe by fitting a battery stabiliser unit to the vehicle. This creates a steady voltage and maintains battery charge during an OBD write where significant current is drawn. As such for mobile service, customers are reminded that access to a mains plug socket is required - a 50m extension cable is always on the van to accommodate large driveways or vehicles with onstreet parking.
ECUs in engine bays or footwells - make we aware if theres a risk that they have been contaminated with water or moisture.
Having done hundreds of ECU writes, I haven't had any issues & risks are low. And in most cases, easily solved.
