Why Choose ExpertTuning?
ExpertTuning is not just "another tuning company". We are backed by years of experience in both electronic & mechanical tuning and work with some of the biggest tuning houses across Europe to offer the very best results & service available in the world today. We give you the choice of the level of tune you want. Whether it is performance or economy tuning, we have the ability to meet your exact requirements.
Will remapping invalidate my vehicle's warranty?
There are several ways to upload modified software to a vehicle's ECU, but due to our investment in the latest tuning hardware we are able to reprogram 99% of the vehicles we cover via the vehicles OBD port (on board diagnostics) and as such leave no physical evidence of our work behind, leaving it undetectable without remapping equipment. All codes and diagnostics that a dealer may read through standard diagnostics will remain exactly the same. We say it with confidence because of the rigorous testing regime all files go through, and we even give a lifetime software warranty to you. However in the case of some pre year 2000 Vehicles or Bikes, Trucks, Agricultural & Marine applications it may be required that the ECU will need to be removed and reprogrammed direct. If this is the case for your vehicle we will inform you before hand. But be warned - not all tuning companies can say this.
Can the process be reversed?
Of course, if for any reason you would like your vehicle to be returned to its original settings maybe when your ready to change vehicle, we can reverse the whole process and we will offer this service free of charge if you bring your vehicle to us. But in most cases the enhanced performance may help the sale of your vehicle. Should you lose your modified software due to dealer actions or parts failure your we will be happy to re-install the map onto your car free of charge for as long as you own the vehicle.
Should I tell my insurance company?
Whilst the upgrade is undetectable, we are a responsible company and the answer to this question has to be ‘yes’. Your insurance company should be notified. Some insurance companies do not penalise you for upgrades of this nature, particularly if you're tuning for increased economy. Others make a small charge. We have been surveying our customers and so far have found that when premiums increase, it has often been a small amount, typically less than £30 - £20 of which is for admin for the immediate change, so following years will see an increase of under £10 on renewals.
Will my fuel consumption increase after remapping?
No! In fact quite the opposite. Even if you choose a performance tune for your vehicle, if you continue to drive the car in the same style as you did before the upgrade, then your fuel consumption will normally improve by over 10%. Of course if you choose to have a track map installed on the vehicle and you are driving under the conditions with which a track map is intended you're likely to find a slightly reduced mpg figure. Economy tuning can return a bigger improvement in fuel consumption than power tuning but, for most people, power tuning offers the best combination of more pleasureable driving AND fuel economy improvement.
Will remapping increase engine wear?
If your engine is in sound condition, and has been properly maintained, it is safe with an ExpertTuning upgrade. Sadly some companies over-tune, stressing the engine, transmission, cooling systems etc, and reducing the life span and reliability of the car. This is why it's so important to choose the right company to complete your remap. We take great time & care to ensure that our modifications have no detrimental effect on your car. The experts behind every remap we perform have been working in this field for more than 20 years. In a lot of cases the economy tune actually helps to extend the life of components such as the clutch and gearbox by making the delivery of the power far less aggressive and smoothing the overall drive of the vehicle. Good common sense says you should ensure your vehicle is regularly maintained using good quality service components and oil.
Are plug and play tuning boxes, chips or pre-modified files on the internet any good?
There are a number of basic cheap and cheerful (though sometimes not so cheerful in the long run) power upgrades and chips available in a plug and play format, or that are downloadable from the internet for use by low-end remappers. Whilst some of the plug-in items can offer increases in power, they mostly operate by merely adjusting a specified signal within the ECU by a set tolerance, in most cases the fuel pressure. The multi-connection devices do a much better job but are expensive compared to a remap through the OBD II port. It's impossible to compare these items with a full custom remap based upon your original software which measures and adjusts hundreds of signals and data files within the ECU.
We advise that generic files and unsupported devices for sale on the web should be avoided at all cost. We've seen too many customers with troubles after a bad experience from a spare-time tuner that bought their equipment and standard files from eBay. No wonder they can offer cheap remaps! Remember - every remap we perform is customised for your engine and only for your engine. It has to be that way because the changes manufacturers may have made during their production cycles mean there is no such thing as a generic remap for any given engine series.
