What remapping does

Release what your engine already has in it

Manufacturers set engines up cautiously at the factory to cope with different fuel grades, driving styles and markets around the world. A remap retunes those settings around your vehicle and the way you actually drive it.

  • Stronger power and torque.

    More pulling power through the gears and a sharper response to the throttle, with no mechanical parts changed.

  • Better fuel economy.

    Most noticeable on turbo diesels. Plenty of drivers see a real MPG improvement, particularly on longer motorway runs.

  • A smoother drive.

    Flat spots ironed out and power delivered more evenly across the range, so the engine feels better matched to how you drive.

  • Confident towing.

    If you pull a caravan, trailer or horsebox, the extra torque under load makes for steadier, more relaxed towing.

  • Lower running costs for vans.

    A favourite with businesses running vans, where an economy remap can take a meaningful chunk off a year’s fuel bill.

Remapping by engine specialists

Your engine is controlled by software stored in its ECU. From the factory, that software is set conservatively to suit every market, climate, and fuel quality the manufacturer sells into. A remap adjusts those settings to release performance and efficiency the engine is already capable of, safely and within sensible limits.

Done well, a remap can give you more power and torque, better fuel economy, and sharper throttle response. Economy remaps are particularly popular with diesel drivers and van fleets looking to cut running costs. The key words are done well. The quality of a remap depends entirely on the knowledge behind it.

Why CR Auto Engineering

Plenty of companies offer remapping. What sets CR apart is the depth of engineering behind it. We are not only remappers, we are engine specialists, so we understand the mechanics of what we are tuning, not just the software.

At CR Auto Engineering, every remap is carried out by people with decades of engine reconditioning experience. We know diesel engines, petrol engines, injectors, and cylinder heads. That knowledge shapes how we approach every remap, and it means we can spot when a vehicle needs attention before a remap rather than after.

We do not just tune engines. We rebuild them. That is the difference.

What sets us apart:

  • Viezu approved and insurance backed
  • Decades of engine expertise
  • Workshop or mobile at your home or work
  • Cars, vans and commercials

Don't just take our word for it

Had my diesel Transit remapped and the difference is night and day. Pulls much better when loaded and I’m getting noticeably more to the tank. These guys know engines properly.

Our Process

How we remap your vehicle

Every remap starts with a health check and ends with a road test, because the engineering matters as much as the software. Here is how it runs.

  • 1. Vehicle check

    We talk through your vehicle and what you want from the remap.

  • 2. Health check

    We check the engine is in good condition before any work begins.

  • 3. Remap

    We adjust the ECU settings to suit your goals, power, economy, or both.

  • 4. Road test

    We confirm the vehicle drives as it should.

  • 5. Aftercare

    We are here if you have any questions once you are back on the road.

    Common remapping questions

    Remapping questions, answered

    The things drivers most often ask before booking a remap. If your question is not here, just call us.

     
    Will a remap affect my insurance?

    It should be declared, yes. Most mainstream insurers accept a Stage 1 remap, though a few add a small premium. Since a non-declared modification can affect a future claim, it is worth a quick call to your insurer before you book.

    Is remapping safe for my engine?

    Done by people who understand the engine, yes. We run a health check before we start to confirm the vehicle is in good shape, work within safe limits for your specific engine, and keep your original file so you can go back to standard whenever you want.

    How long does a remap take?

    Most are done within an hour or two. We will give you a realistic time when you enquire, based on your vehicle and whether you are coming to the workshop or booking a mobile visit.

    Can the remap be reversed?

    Yes. We keep your original ECU file and can put the vehicle back to its factory settings any time you ask.

    Will a remap improve fuel economy?

    For many diesel vehicles, an economy remap can reduce fuel use, especially on longer or motorway driving. Results vary by vehicle and driving style.

    Do you remap vans and commercial vehicles?

    Yes. Vans and light commercials are a big part of what we do, and economy remaps are popular with drivers and small fleets watching their fuel costs. Send your details and we will confirm suitability.

    Can you come to me?

    Yes. Alongside the Aston workshop we run a mobile service across Birmingham and the West Midlands, coming to your home or workplace at a time that suits. Tell us where you are and we will confirm availability.

    Where are you based?

    Our workshop is in Aston, Birmingham, easy to reach from across the West Midlands including Solihull, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley and Coventry.
