What is car remapping?
Car remapping is an affordable and effective way of increasing a vehicle’s performance, power output or fuel efficiency by rewriting or overwriting the software which manages the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
Vehicles from the factory often have the engine’s potential performance limited by the ECU. This is typically done in order to improve emissions and fuel consumption statistics.
Remapping, when done professionally, can improve the power and torque but without compromising efficiency or reliability.
How does the remapping process work?
It’s first important to understand a little bit more about the vehicle’s ECU. Modern vehicles are actually controlled by a lot of ECUs which contain a dedicated microchip with its own software and firmware.
These individual ECUs control different functions for example: power steering, windows, air conditioning, fuel use, air/ fuel ratio, and ignition timing. In high-end vehicles there can be over 100 different ECUs installed to support performance aspects such as turbo charging and boosting.
When we remap your vehicle we will first carry out a visual inspection which is to check there are no obvious problems with your engine bay which could cause us any issues. We will then connect our diagnostic equipment to the car’s OBD (on-board diagnostics) to ensure there are no error codes recorded by the ECU. We can then begin the remapping process.
This involves downloading the current ECU files and comparing to our database of remap files. At The Vehicle Doctor we have access to the largest and safest remapping database with over 50,000 files available. The relevant files are then used to overwrite the current ECU software.
Once this is complete, we do a diagnostic check to ensure there are no error codes. The vehicle is then road tested.
Do I need a professional to remap my car?
It is absolutely essential that a professional remaps your vehicle. This is not something that can be done by an amateur as it could have severe safety implications for both the driver and passengers, and the car’s engine.
Remapping is a complicated and skilled process which should be left to experts. If you are based in Worcester or the surrounding areas, please contact The Vehicle Doctor by calling 01386 291059 or sending an email to info@thevehicledoctor.co.uk
Is car remapping legal in the UK?
Remapping a vehicle’s ECU is legal in the UK.
However, there are some things you need to consider though before your vehicle is remapped:
- Make sure you contact your insurer to determine if your policy covers modified cars and if it will affect your insurance premium. You should also check if your insurer has an administration fee for amending your policy.
- If your car is on lease, PCP, or finance, you should contact your provider before remapping the engine. Some finance contracts allow modifications but others do not.
- If your car is covered by a manufacturer’s or extended warranty, you should read the warranty terms & conditions and contact the relevant dealership to check if your vehicle can be remapped without affecting it. The same applies for if you have taken out gap insurance too.
Are there any downsides of remapping?
Remapping a vehicle will alter the performance, meaning you may need to make some alterations to your driving style. For example, the car may accelerate more quickly, so you need to be conscious of this increased power to ensure this does not become a safety issue or result in police action.
It’s also important to note that some ECU changes may mean that the vehicle needs to use premium fuel which has a higher octane rating than regular petrol. High-octane fuel is slightly more expensive than regular petrol.
How much does it cost to remap a car?
At The Vehicle Doctor we offer Stage 1 Remapping which costs £250.
We also have a Dyno testing machine which can be used to measure power and torque before and after the remap. Our Dyno tests cost £120 when booked separately, or £50 when booking with a Stage 1 Remap, bringing the total cost of the Dyno run and remap to just £300.
We are remapping experts based near Worcester with access to over 50,000 remap files and the latest specialist equipment. To book a remap, please contact The Vehicle Doctor by calling 01386 291059 or sending an email to info@thevehicledoctor.co.uk
