The power and fuel economy of your vehicle can be enhanced or boosted in about an hour by altering the settings on the engine control unit (ECU). A vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) is the computer that controls how the engine works.

However, the manufacturer’s default settings (or maps) are not necessarily the best they could be as they are forced to consider different laws, such as emissions standards, climates, fuel quality etc. in all of the countries that their vehicles are sold in.

Manufactures are also known to limit the performance of their vehicles through the ECU so they can release faster models at a later date, with just a few software changes and a higher price.

Remapping makes the most of your vehicle

By overwriting the ECU’s default settings with new settings which are programmed to enhance the vehicles overall performance. It usually takes approx. 1 hour. You’ll witness an immediate improvement in the speed and power of your vehicle.

The engine will also be more responsive, so it will be easier to tow a caravan, overtake and you might also find that you don’t have to change gear as frequently, eliminating flat spots – meaning you’ll get more miles to the gallonThe remapping procedure isn’t just for cars either, we can custom tune;

Cars, Vans, Trucks, Pickups, Motorhomes & Tractors.
  • Increased BHP & Torque
  • Improved MPG
  • Enhanced Drivability
  • Eliminate Flat Spots
  • Refined Drivability and Throttle Response
  • Choose from Stage 1, 2 or Economy Remaps
  • All from as little as £200

If you’re looking for even more from your vehicle fitted with an automatic transmission a gearbox TCU remap perfectly compliments our engine ECU remapping. We support all major automatic transmissions including traditional automatic, DSG, Tiptronic, S-Tronic, R-Tronic, 7G-Tronic, SMG, MCT etc

Why don’t the manufacturers do this?

The simple answer is they do! Mass production means cheaper build costs for manufacturers. By building the same gearbox numerous times, and setting it up differently in software they can build one piece of hardware and use it in multiple models or variants within their range. If we look at the DSG gearbox used by VW/Audi the shift patterns and shift speed permitted through the same physical gearbox is far higher in S and RS models than in the standard A models.

Will remapping my gearbox increase fuel consumption?

Not at all, quite the opposite in-fact. Quicker gear shifts and earlier transmission locking provide a more efficient gearbox. A higher percentage of the engine power makes it to the wheels earlier in the rev range and the engine is driving the wheels more of the time. The result of these efficiency changes is reduced fuel consumption.

Gearbox TCU remapping offers the following additional benefits over and above our engine ECU remapping:

  • Additional power and torque by relaxing the gearbox torque limiters
  • Lightening quick gear shifts along with smoother gear shifting
  • Faster reaction to tiptronic or paddle shift inputs (where fitted)
  • Improved low speed and off the line response through earlier torque convertor locking
  • Increased fuel efficiency on some transmissions due to less power loss through the drivetrain

Engine carbon deposits have a measurable effect on performance, emissions and fuel economy. Routine carbon cleaning has been shown to prevent these problems, and remedial cleaning removes more severe deposits that have already formed.

Carbon deposits have been a problem for the Internal combustion engine since it was invented. It is a known fact that carbon deposits in Internal Combustion Engines reduce engine performance, reduce fuel efficiency, shorten engine/equipment/parts life and increase engine out emissions.

In the quest to improve engine performance, reduce pollutants in the atmosphere and increase engine fuel efficiency. Governments all over the world are increasing emission regulations.

To meet these ever increasing regulations manufacturers are employing additional emission controls to the Internal Combustion engines. Simply put, the manufactures are asking the Internal combustion engine to do more things than it was ever designed to do. As a result, the carbon deposit problem has become more frequent and severe, creating a whole new set of problems and challenges.

Many technicians and managers are well aware that severe combustion chamber carbon build up can create significant drivability issues with today’s engines. It’s all too rare, however, for them to focus on the fact that carbon build up and slowly deteriorating injector performance is a gradual process that not only affects engine performance but fuel economy as well.  Despite this info, the vast majority of these potential issues remain unsolved.

How Does it Work?

Electric current is used to split water by electrolysis into its components, pure hydrogen and oxygen gases, commonly referred to as HHO.  To allow electric current to flow easily an electrolyte (potassium hydroxide, KOH) is added to the water. The gases flow to a large bubbler filled with water which serves as a flashback arrestor.

The gases are highly effective in removing carbon deposits inside the engine using a simple procedure that requires no engine dismantling.  All that is required is for the Carbon Cleaner connected to a power supply and the HHO gases be fed into the engines air intake while it idles:

  • The engine is brought up to normal operating temperature
  • The air filter or intake hose is loosened
  • HHO gas is fed into the air intake.
  • The engine is left idling for approx. 30 minutes (or more depending on the engine size) with occasional revving, during which the carbon deposits are progressively removed and pass out through the exhaust pipe.  The combination of oxygen enrichment and the hydrogen accelerant gently loosens & burns off carbon deposits. Water vapour, carbon dioxide and carbon is carried out in the exhaust.  
  • Cleans pistons crowns, valves, frees sticking turbo vanes, maintains EGR valves
  • Restores full air and exhaust gas flow and hence restores performance
  • Reduces emissions
  • Restores BHP, Torque & MPG

Simple Fast and Effective

Example being, the engine doesn’t get worked hard & hot, then yes it will most likely have more carbon build up. Taxis and buses are prime examples as they are sat idling and often short stop-start journeys at low speeds & RPM.

If your car is suffering reduced MPG and if the cause is carbon build up then yes the engine clean should recover/reclaim that MPG lost due to the internals / components being dirty.

IF (and it’s always a IF) ANY aspect of your cars performance (noise, roughness, idling, hunting, MPG lower, emissions, flat spots, throttle response, sticking EGR/throttle body/swirl flaps) are affected from carbon build up then the Carbon Cleaning will have a positive effect.

Of course, any mechanical aspect (swirl flaps for example or EGR valve, turbo) has seized/blocked completely or broken in which case no amount of carbon cleaning will sort it.

Carbon cleaning can’t fix things that are fully blocked or broken these would need to be replaced, stripped and cleaned, fixed, all a carbon clean can do is exactly that.

The most common customer for this service is to look at it like preventative maintenance you’re stopping issues before they can start – It’s highly recommended to have this procedure done along side your yearly service, more often if you fall into the category of our private hire / taxi clients.

You may be wondering what exactly is involved in car diagnostic services. When your mechanic carries out a vehicle diagnostic test, usually they will be checking for any problems with your vehicle using a diagnostic tool.

Once the diagnostic software is introduced to your vehicle’s OBD port, a range of problems may be revealed. These can include anything from oil tank issues to transmission and exhaust system issues or engine problems, among others.

Most modern vehicles will have an onboard computer processor as well as microchips and sensors that work in conjunction with the mechanic’s car diagnostic scanning software to enable identification of any vehicle problems.

What Are the Benefits of Diagnostic Services?

Diagnostics are incredibly beneficial in a variety of ways. Simply put, they enable the easy identification of vehicle malfunctions so that the mechanic can repair them more quickly.

When something goes wrong in your vehicle, a fault code will be recorded in the vehicle’s computer memory. The mechanic can then identify the issue via its corresponding code, everything from faulty windscreen wipers to more serious problems like suspension issues.

This accurate and fast diagnosis will ultimately save you time and money, especially since you can have minor issues rectified before they become more expensive.

What Issues Can Diagnostics Identify?

A few of the areas of concern a car diagnostics service can identify in most vehicles are as follows:

  • Issues with the Engine
  • Engine Timing Problems
  • Fuel Injector Performance
  • Engine RPM levels
  • Air and Coolant Temperature
  • Crankshaft Issues
  • Camshaft Position
  • Problems with Brakes
  • Engine Management Problems

How Often Should I Have Diagnostics Carried Out?

You should definitely book a diagnostic service if you feel that something has gone wrong with your vehicle.

If you’ve bought, or thinking about purchasing a used vehicle it could give you some peace of mind knowing there is no underlying issues prior to purchase.
It is a good idea to have car diagnostics carried out once a year.
