Most modern vehicles contain an ECU (or Engine Control Unit) that is a small computer which controls how the engine works. With our specialized equipment we are able to fine-tune this ECU to control the engine in a more effective manner.
Contact us to get your vehicle remapped.
A vehicle remap replaces default software on the ECU, overwriting it with new software which can be programmed to optimise the car’s overall performance.This is known as vehicle remapping because the ECU is essentially a program that controls how the engine works.
When your car is remapped, the tuned software is written into your ecu which then overwrites the engine map with the new version to enhance engine performance.
Many people say that ECU remapping doesn’t affect fuel usage, however this is not technically true.
If the driver drives aggressive using all the added power the economy will decrease.
If you drive the vehicle in an economic way the fuel economy will get better, about 1-2km/l.
A good example of this could be that the improvement in torque produced by the engine after remapping means the driver no longer has to drop down a gear to maintain speed on an incline or may not have to change gear as frequently in traffic.
All of these little things add up to an improvement in fuel economy.
There are many reasons to choose vehicle remapping. Firstly, you will notice that your engine responds better when the accelerator is pressed.
The overall torque and power will be noticeably increased. Power delivery will be smoother making for a much safer driving experience, which also makes it easier and safer to overtake.

HereModern exhaust systems have an in-built particulate filter, which is very expensive to replace when it when it becomes clogged.
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a filter that acts as a dirt-trap to prevent many of the dirt particles that are found in the exhaust gasses from escaping into the atmosphere.
In South Africa, our fuel quality is poor and it leads to more dirty particles in modern diesel engine emissions. because of this the DPF has to work much harder than in many other parts of the world and it clogs up quicker.
To prevent the DPF from clogging up, modern exhaust systems will burn the particulates at regular intervals while you are driving at highway-speeds
To prevent the DPF from clogging up, modern exhaust systems will burn the particulates at regular intervals while you are driving at highway-speeds
Apart from the poor fuel quality mentioned before, the DPF can also become clogged from the burnt ash that forms when the DPF cleans itself.
Many people spend countless hours in traffic, which does not allow the DPF to clean itself. Over time this will also block the DPF.
We cannot ignore the DPF when it becomes blocked. A blockage will increase the heat in the exhaust system and will ultimately damage the engine, it will also cause your warning lights to light up and cause the vehicle to go into limp mode.
When in limp mode you can barely drive your vehicle, as the engine tries to protect itself from major damage
