ECU Remapping in Quorn and Quorndon

It is the same village under two names, and this page covers both. It also covers Woodhouse, Woodhouse Eaves and The Brand. There used to be several near identical pages here saying much the same thing, which was no use to anybody trying to work out whether we come out that far. We do, and this is the page that says so.

Usually, if the delay is a decision rather than a mechanical problem. The pause before a kickdown is a deliberate setting chosen for smoothness and for protecting the box from every kind of driver, and reducing it is one of the main things transmission work does. If the hesitation arrives with slipping, shuddering or odd noises, that is a different conversation and we would want to look at it first.

Only if that is what you ask for. How firmly a shift lands is one of the parameters being set, so quicker does not have to mean rougher. A lot of people want better timed changes with no more thump than standard, which is entirely achievable. Tell us how you want the car to feel and that is what the file gets written towards.

Not at all. The gearbox can be done afterwards, and on a car that has already had torque added there is usually something worth correcting, because the transmission is still working to the torque curve the engine used to have. Say who did the engine work and what was done when you ring, so we know what we are building on top of.

Yes, and on an automatic that is normally the sensible order. Written together, the two are designed around each other instead of one being retrofitted to the other. It also means a single trip. Quorn is roughly twenty miles from the workshop, so combining them saves your time as well as ours, and it is worth mentioning when you first ring.

Then there is no transmission control unit to work on, and the engine map is the whole job. If somebody has offered to tune the gearbox on your manual car, ask them precisely what they intend to write to and what they expect it to change, because the answer should be interesting. On a manual the honest scope is the engine file and nothing else.

Yes, on the same principle as the engine. The original is read and saved before anything is written, so the box can be returned to its factory calibration whenever you want it. That matters for a dealer visit, a sale or a lease return. Putting either file back is quick, and asking for it is not a difficult conversation to have with us.

Declare it to your insurer, because it is a modification whether it is the engine file or the gearbox file. If the car is under manufacturer warranty, on a lease or on finance, tell us at the enquiry stage and we will give you a straight answer about whether proceeding is sensible. Better to know where you stand before the work than to find out afterwards.

A good number of modern dual clutch and torque converter automatics, but it varies enormously and there is no useful blanket answer. Two cars from the same manufacturer a couple of years apart can be completely different propositions. That is why we ask for the exact make, model, year and engine and check yours specifically before quoting rather than promising something we may not be able to deliver.

We can diagnose it, clean it and run a forced regeneration, and we will tell you what caused the loading rather than just resetting the clock. What we do not do, on any vehicle, is remove a filter or write software that pretends a missing one is still fitted. It is an MOT failure and it makes the vehicle unlawful to use on the road.
