ECU remapping can have many benefits: then again, it probably shouldn’t surprise you that a remapping company is telling you that.  The biggest advantage of a remap is that it smooths out dead areas in your vehicle’s power curve. This ensures you will have an immediate response when you put your foot down. This will make driving more enjoyable and much safer, so if you’ve had experience of dead spots in your acceleration curve, we can’t recommend a remap strongly enough! Getting a remap will increase the horsepower available to your engine, all while staying well within safety margins. Vehicle manufacturers purposefully de-tune engines for marketing reasons, allowing them to create a range of differently powered models of the same vehicle. remap will simply allow the vehicle to access the power that the manufacturer has locked away and unleash the full potential of the engine. Not only will the horsepower of your vehicle increase, but so will the torque. This is where you’ll feel...

Diesel vehicles are fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), also known as a soot trap. They were designed to reduce emissions from diesel cars following the Euro 5 exhaust emissions legislation introduced in 2009, and have contributed largely to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the UK. DPFs trap exhaust gases within a filter, turning them into soot. Their one drawback is their finite nature – soot collects within the trap and has to be cleaned by burning off or emptying. This regenerates (cleans) the DPF. The regeneration process protects the DPF from soot buildup, which happens when the car doesn’t get up to temperature. This occurs most commonly in cities, where vehicles are used frequently but for short distances only. DPF regeneration falls into two separate categories, passive and active. Passive regeneration takes place when the engine is running at higher revs. You can ensure your vehicle’s DPF filter passively regenerates by driving for 15 minutes or more at a consisten...

Ford remapping  can help the efficiency of your vehicle in the long run, but did you know Ford are working on improving other technologies too. The car manufacturer has announced plans to introduce Local Hazard Information Technology to 80 per cent of its new vehicles build in 2020. This will work by installing a modem as standard into each new car. Local Hazard Information Technology means that information about bad weather, road traffic accidents and traffic jams will be transmitted to the vehicles’ dashboard allowing the driver to decide what they would like to do to avoid any problems that arise. This information will be collected from other connected road users, emergency services and the authorities and collated to create useful messages for drivers. This differs from current apps that require manual input, and instead will collect the information automatically in order to create the alerts for road users. Joerg Beyer, executive director of engineering at Ford in Europe, sai...

The advances that have resulted in the record yields and disease and drought resistance you enjoy on your farm today come at the expense of complexity. Similarly, efforts to reduce diesel emissions take many systems and service procedures to understand. In a profit-sensitive industry such as agriculture, it is critical that you do not allow emission controls to cause costly downtime or failure. Depending on the application, hp and year of construction, modern diesel engines bear little resemblance to the past due to the integration of exhaust gas reduction devices. These systems are identified by acronyms such as EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), dpf emulator (Diesel Particulate Filter) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). Egr dpf , SCR, DOC AND DPF STATEMENTS EGR is an engine design feature that introduces inert exhaust gases into the combustion chamber to act as filler. This reduces the pressure and heat of combustion to reduce nitrogen oxide (NO...

Millions of drivers in the UK are putting off having their car serviced because they are worried about unexpected bills to fix problems. That’s the finding of a new survey by the RAC, which revealed that 47 per cent of UK drivers worry about being landed with an unexpected bill following a vehicle service, and that these worries are enough for 24 per cent to put off booking a service altogether. This equates to some 3.8 million drivers in the UK, the breakdown organisation revealed. It also suggests that there could be millions of cars on the country’s roads that are not in the best condition. Lauren French, RAC MOT Assist product manager, commented: “The best advice to any driver is to keep on dpf filter removal work – the quicker problems are identified, often the cheaper they are to remedy.” In addition to regular service, you may also want to spend money on  car tuning in Manchester , to ensure your motor is always running at its most efficient.

Drivers will always want to get the best out of their cars that they can and often this means looking into   smart car remapping   and similar to ensure that it is running at optimum level – but what exactly is remapping and how could you and your vehicle benefit? Here are some common questions and answers on this particular topic. What exactly is remapping ? You may well hear remapping referred to as ECU tuning – when the settings on the engine control unit in the car are altered to improve vehicle performance. Drivers are able to customize how the engine works, allowing them to change the output of their car to suit their personal preferences. What does remapping do? Vehicles typically see an increase in power after remapping and you may also find that your car feels a lot faster immediately after tuning has taken place, as well. The engine of your car may also become more responsive, so you could find yourself changing gear less often. How does it work? You can change the d...

The European Union EURO environmental standard has been developed and is applicable only in the European Union. There are many countries with less stringent environmental standards than the European Union, so you don't have to use expensive AdBlue fluids and worry about maintaining your AdBlue catalyst system. You can drive your truck without the AdBlue system without the negative consequences of breaking the law. If so, you can turn off the AdBlue system on your truck to save a lot of money and time waiting for repairs. Also, there are some countries where the AdBlue system can give you a headache. If you've ever tried to operate your truck in a country or region where the temperature is always or often below -10°C (+14°F), you know that all liquids similar to water freeze. If the AdBlue liquid freezes, it may damage the AdBlue system pump. This will definitely generate some DTCs in the truck diagnostic system. DTC errors can cause loss of performance or overheat of the catal...

HOW DOES THE DIGITAL TUNING BOX IMPROVE YOUR VEHICLE’S PERFORMANCE? Modern engine management systems rely on engine sensors to function. The digital tuning box enables the original engine management system’s settings to be refined and enhanced – even if no other mechanical modifications are carried out. The result is an expertly tuned engine that reaches its full potential in terms of power, fuel consumption, and driveability. Moreover, the digital tuning box allows the owner to fine-tune an engine’s fuel and ignition requirements. . This enables owners of modified vehicles to extract the ultimate potential from popular engine upgrades including performance induction systems. WHERE DO THESE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS COME FROM? When car manufacturers(OEM’s) develop vehicle engine management systems they make compromises to take into account the production and operating variations of the vehicle during its life. Production tolerances mean that no two vehicles are exactly the same; depend...

Emulators are now available for most vehicles (emulators are required for some vehicles which cannot be reprogrammed via ECU), ask if this is the best solution for your vehicle. DPF, the internal composition of the DPF resembles a series of drinking straws attached to each other and bent at the ends, allowing exhaust emissions to pass through the filter wall, thereby depositing particulates contained in the exhaust gases. When these particulates have accumulated in the filter, the pressure sensor detects a different pressure or pressure and the liquid or additional diesel fuel is injected either into the engine or directly into the DPF to burn the particulates and clean the filter deposits (known as passive regeneration). One problem with this system is that if the vehicle is only making short trips, the engine may not be hot enough to regenerate, causing deposits to form on the filter and a filter warning light on the dashboard if the vehicle has then reached temperature It is possib...

Engine re-mapping is considered a relatively inexpensive way to tune your car. While most remapping focuses on increasing your car's power and performance, it's also possible to improve your engine's fuel efficiency through remapping. Is the diversion really worth the extra cash? This guide is designed to help you decide. What is engine switching? Engine switching occurs when a vehicle's onboard computer (often referred to as the electronic control unit or ECU) is modified with new software to influence its behavior. Ex-factory, most cars don't offer the maximum possible engine performance - even sports cars. The ECU typically limits engine performance to improve reliability, emissions, and fuel economy. Your car's engine may also be slightly restricted to ensure it strikes the right balance between fuel economy and full performance in less than ideal conditions, e.g. in very hot weather (when the engine normally produces less power). Diverting is usually done ...
