ECU REMAPPING SPECIALISTS IN SURREY
At Surrey Remaps we can remap your car’s Engine Control Unit (ECU – The cars brain) to significantly improve your cars performance and fuel economy. The ECU of most vehicles is mapped to cater to the middle ground, for drivers who ignore service schedules and use second rate fuel; it means your car is only working at 80% capacity. With ecu remapping service we are capable of delivering much more power, plenty more torque and more miles for your money. We’re not talking about small incremental changes here, a chip tuned vehicle can get a 40% increase in power. At Surrey Remaps we also can fix any DPF, EGR Swirl flap problems and much more.
At Surrey Remaps we can carry out OBD and bench tuning for your car or commercial vehicle.
We use Genius and Trasdata from Dimsport for all our ECU remapping.
We offer DPF solutions and can delete EGR valves, swirl flaps, stop and start, and much more.
If you are looking to improve your vehicles performance and, or fuel economy then look no further. We are specialists in Chip Tuning and ECU Remapping in Epsom, Surrey and the surrounding areas.

WHAT IS ECU REMAPPING/PROGRAMMING
When a manufacturer develops a new car they have to take into consideration all of the conditions it may be subjected to in all of the regions in which they intend to sell this model. This means instead of just optimising the ECU’s program or ‘map’ to deliver the best performance or the most fuel efficiency they have to make compromises to the map to take into account these potential differing operating conditions. These could include sub-standard fuels, extremes in temperature and altitude, differing emission laws and even the possibility that vehicle may not be serviced on a regular basis and in accordance with the manufacturers recommended instructions.
ECU remapping is taking a read from the ECU’s processing chip of the vehicles standard compromised map and adjusting various parameters within the map such as fuel pressure, boost pressure (on turbocharged applications) ignition advance and throttle pedal control amongst others to release the true performance from the engine. It is a completely safe process as it is just giving the engine the performance it should have had in the first place before all the compromises were applied to the original programming. Every engine will have its own unique map and by adjusting this we can fine tune the characteristics of the engine; unleashing more power and in many cases reduce fuel consumption too.
WHAT IS AN DPF
A DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) also known as FAP on some French vehicles, is a device fitted to the exhaust system of modern diesel vehicles to reduce emissions and meet European emission standards. It does this by trapping Soot (Particulate Matter - PM) from the exhaust gasses while letting the gasses flow through the system.
As with any type of filter a Particulate Filter needs to be cleaned regularly to function properly. With DPF’s this is done by a process known as Regeneration which involves a combination of a Catalyst function in the system and burning the soot to gas at a very high temperature leaving behind an Ash residue within the DPF. Regeneration should be an automatic process taking place in the normal use of your vehicle, you may have noticed this in the form of a blast of white smoke form the exhaust on occasions.
DPFs have been in common use in passenger cars and light commercials from around 2003 in preparation for Euro 4 regs (2005), with Peugeot, Renault and BMW being early takers. Euro 5 (2009) made it compulsory for diesel cars and light commercials to have a DPF fitted and Euro 6 2014 will tighten this up further.
