Stoke Remapping FAQ’s

 How long will it take to remap my vehicle in Lightwood?

A Plug and Play tuning module or a custom written OBD remap will usually take between 1-2 hours, depending on the vehicle. However, some vehicles especially those requiring bench tuning can take much longer. Get in contact with us for an idea of how long it will take us to tune your vehicle.

Can the remap in Lightwood be reversed?

Absolutely. We offer this service. We’ll be very surprised if that’s what you want after taking one of our remap products, however in the case of lease cars some customers prefer to put the car back to standard before returning the car.

Do I need to notify my Insurance Company of my remap in Lightwood?

Whilst the remap is undetectable to dealer equipment, you should notify your insurance company of any modification to your vehicle. Many insurance companies do not penalise you for upgrades of this nature, particularly if you’re tuning for increased economy however a failure to disclose modifications may invalidate your policy. You may wish to enquire with your insurer if the modification will affect your policy prior to choosing one of our services.

Will the lifespan of my engine be reduced?

No. Our remaps are designed specifically to improve the performance of your vehicle whilst remaining within the tolerances of your vehicles’ components.

Sadly, in attempt to achieve ‘big numbers’ some other companies over tune engines, placing excessive stress on the engine, transmission, cooling systems, etc, leading to reduced life span and reliability of the vehicle. We pride ourselves in producing reliable remaps which do not over stress your vehicle but still produce impressive results.

What if the dealer wipes the map with a software update?

No problem. Simply bring the vehicle back in and we will take a fresh read of your ECU and write you a new map file for half the price of the original tune.

Why chose ECU remapping over a Diesel tuning box?

ECU remapping is far superior to the diesel tuning boxes. When we remap an ECU, it optimises various settings and parameters the ECU controls that a tuning box cannot as diesel tuning boxes can only give more fuel pressure. Beware of cheap tuning boxes for sale as these can lead to problems or not have any effect on the vehicle’s performance at all.

Is DPF removal legal?

DPF removal is illegal for a vehicle that is used for road use and will invalidate your vehicles MOT. All DPF software or removal work is carried out at the owner’s risk and intention.
