Engine remapping

 Is remapping safe?

Remapping a car will add more stress to your engine. Though many are pretty safe, you’ll need to pay extra care to keep your car well-maintained.

As a rule of thumb, the more power you get from a remap, the more it’ll affect your car’s reliability.

Can you remap any car?

Most modern cars can be remapped, but some older models with dated software cannot.

To what extent a remap will impact your car can vary wildly depending on your model and where you have it remapped.

Does remapping affect insurance?

Remapping your car will almost always increase your insurance premium. You must declare it to your insurer too — failure to do so could see your policy cancelled.

Where can I remap my car?

A number of dedicated tuning houses offer remaps. Some will focus on particular models, with others offering a wide range of services.

Never attempt to alter the software of a car’s engine yourself. Unless you’re a trained technician that knows exactly what you’re doing.
