In an already saturated market place the Remap Engine Tuning industry has already seen its fair share of winners and losers, from catastrophic engine failure to minor niggles, all are unwelcome in the Remap Engine Tuning Arena. With so many companies out there it is difficult to know where to even start, never mind who you chose to trust with your £50,000 new motor car.

With new companies popping up almost over night, it really is a mine field, get it wrong and it could leave you sat on the hard shoulder in a cloud of black smoke with your head in your hands wondering where you went wrong.

One company out there is claiming it wants to try and change all this, the company is called Remaps UK and it is based in Cheshire. Remaps UK is a remap engine tuning company based in the North west of England, providing a mobile engine tuning service across the UK . They consider themselves the experts when it comes to economy and performance remap engine tuning.

Company owner and technical director, Andy who has been involved in the tuning, programming and automotive industry for the last 20 years was asked about his experiences from within the remap tuning industry, he said “I have lost count of how many calls I get a month from customers who have picked price over product and found themselves with a car that won’t start or even worse a blown engine…” he went on to say “ This really is a highly skilled industry with far to many individuals setting up shop, buying the kit from a particular ‘online’ auction site with a disk full of various generic remap files, building a website and buying a ‘Pay & Go’ mobile phone and now consider themselves a Remap Engine Tuning Expert…and the thing is they get away with it, walk away with your money, leaving the unlucky ones out of pocket with a broken car sat on the drive”

Pushed further about the remap engine tuning industry Andy revealed some shocking stories of customers who have contacted Remaps UK with there remap problems and experiences, and also those Remaps UK have worked with, to help get back on the road, he said “ we had one particular customer, really nice gentleman, called Remaps UK for a performance remap engine tuning quote, he stated he had found a cheaper company who would do the work for him, after explaining how we do things here at Remaps UK, explaining all our remap files are live and custom written on the day and are not a generic file, that we also have a £2 million Royal Sun Alliance backed warranty and that all our files are created by us, developed by Remaps UK here in the UK, he still chose to use the other cheaper company” he continued “ a week later the same customer contacted us here at Remaps UK stating that the remap engine tune that was done by the other company wasn’t a total success, in fact the whole ordeal was a complete failure, resulting in the vehicle not starting at all!” he added “the said remap company, allegedly remap tuned the car, which was in fact an 2008 Audi A6 2.0 TDi 140 bhp, then told the customer it needed to reboot and would take 30 minutes to complete, took the customers money and left the premises…the customer tried the vehicle, which then failed to start, tried to contact the said company and found the number was out of service!”

Andy at Remaps UK went on to explain, stating “ The customer was understandably in some distress about the whole ordeal, he was also annoyed that he’d allowed this to happen” , “we had to do a total rebuild of the ECU from scratch….” and added “ luckily for the customer we’re probably one of the only few remap engine tuning companies in the country who have the expertise do this and what’s more we stood by our initial price quoted, even though our work was doubled…we felt it was important to go the extra mile for the customer without the extra cost, plus he’d already had enough problems for one week, it was now up to us to put the smile back on his face…we think he learnt his lesson ”, “ needless to say the customer was over the moon with the finished result and very, very, thankful”

Other problems are also common place he went on to say “ we have visited cars with the wrong map installed, we found a remap file for an Audi 1.9 tdi on a vehicle that should have had an Audi 2.0 tdi file, a Mercedes Benz SL55 amg with a remap file for a SL500, the list goes on, but one thing the customer probably wouldn’t find out about is the fact that we have had previously remapped vehicles in that have had the vehicle immobiliser codes erased! Which means anyone with a key could start your car” he added “we even had a BMW 330d which had been previously remapped by another company, the customer still had the flat spot in the rev range that he wanted removing in the first place, when we analyzed his ECU we found no upgraded had been installed whatsoever even though he’d paid for one! Now that’s just a ridiculous exercise in maximising profit at any expense, this really annoys us here at Remaps UK, and is potentially damaging what is inherently a great industry”

This story is becoming all too common, but what is being done to stop it? How can this be avoided in the first place, we asked Andy what the future of remap tuning was likely to be and what Remaps UK as a company were doing to bring back customer confidence. He said “ Good honest business, in short, we invest heavily into our equipment which allows us to produce and develop what we consider the highest quality remap engine tuning files available” he also added “through painstaking hours of testing we have come up with and un locked some of the most hard to tune vehicles out there in the industry, with fantastic results…improved economy, reduced carbon footprint and increased performance, these are all achievable with a reputable Remap Tuning company”, “ the key to good remap tuning is time invested and experience gained through rigorous testing and development, which all in all costs money, without the investment, we could not produce the high calibre remap files that we do” , ”with big advances in Engine management technology the new breed of remap tuning is becoming more and more intricate, you really need to know what you are doing, ask questions to see how far the Remap Engine tuners knowledge goes, what the tuners background is? How long have they been remapping? all really simple things, but rarely get asked once the customer has been offered the deal of a lifetime. If the deal sounds too good to be true it usually is…” he added “ultimately the choice is down to the customer, you have the right to choose, just make sure it’s the right choice”

So what started out as an insight into the dark and gloomy world of Remap Engine tuning looks set to be a brighter place, with the right company, if chosen carefully? Andy went on to explain “ the benefits of remap tuning far out weigh the minority of budget end low grade remap tuners out there…” he continued by saying “with a high quality remap upgrade customers can expect increased throttle response, better fuel economy, reduced carbon emissions, better performance and smoother power delivery, just make sure you pick a company you are comfortable with and you will become a happy member of the remap tuned vehicle club”

Well it’s been nearly one month

since Remaps UK took delivery of our new BMW E92 335d and we are mightily

impressed so far with this hot, sleek performer.

You can’t deny that even with stock settings the BMW 335d is a force to be reckoned with, putting much more exotic vehicles to shame with it’s awesome twin turbo 3.0 diesel engine.

So what’s the story so far….

In stock for we thought the 335d performed reasonably well, a slight lag of the mark, with great pull through the mid range and ever so slightly lacking at the top end of the rev range, but if were honest this was really being a bit picky!

Average figures for the BMW 335d,  on the mpg and efficiency side were ranging from low 30’s for mixed driving and 38-41 whilst cruising. All in all a very respectable set of results from a vehicle producing a claimed 286bhp with stock settings from BMW.

So what next for the BMW 335d….

We have just finished our first part of the project and started off with the remap option we call ‘the Blend’. This style of upgrade we used on the 335d is a bespoke custom tune that gives the driver the best of both worlds, seeing a marked improvement in mpg and bhp, or the best of both worlds. Bang for buck we think this is the best value for money remap option available!

So how did the BMW 335d perform after its Remap.

Astounding! Like the BMW 330d we projected before, the difference between stock and ‘the blend’ remap option is fantastic. Zero lag, mid range punch is phenomenal pulling cleanly and strongly right through the rev range with no hint of a flat spot anywhere. Very Very impressive!

MPG figures went up to 36-38 normal mixed driving and saw 48 mpg on motorway runs (we feel these are modest figures as when we tested the 335d we had -8 degrees!!) And all this from a car producing 325 bhp!

The remap option ‘blend’ on the 335d is perfectly placed and developed for everyday driving with a focus on increased performance without the sacrifice of reduced efficiency, this is a very hard thing to achieve and has taken a lot of work to get us there, but the results speak for themselves.

Needless to say, everybody fights for the 335d keys at the end of the working day!!

A Job well done so far….but we have a lot more to do, we have just finished fine tuning and developing the performance remap and upgraded the BMW 335d today, first impressions are stunning! Watch this space for the next installment of the BMW 335d Remap Project by Remaps UK
