ECU Tuning for Vans
By having Vantuner remap your van you get a safe and reliable power increase without losing the great economy and reliability that comes with modern diesel engine.
Most turbo-diesel vans made after about ’2000 can be remapped like Mercedes Sprinter’s, Vito’s, Vauxhall Combo, Astra, Vivaro, Nissan Primastar, all Ford Transit Mk6 & 7′s & Sportvan’s, Renault Trafic, Iveco Daily , Renault Masters etc etc.
The beauty of modern day ecu tuning / remapping is that it is simply a software upgrade – No opening or removal of the vehicles ecu (electronic control unit) is normally needed – the upgrade is carried out via a laptop computer connecting to the OBD diagnostic connector under the dash. After a road test & diagnostic check, the vehicles performance settings are read, modified and re-loaded. It can be done at your house or work, or at our base near Uxbridge Middlesex. The mobile service covers much of Southern England & the Midlands & a new installation centre is opening in early 2012 in Glasgow initially covering Ford van tuning.

How is it done?
Most vehicles have several ecus’, one main one for the engine, one for the airbag, one for the immobilizer, etc…
As emissions laws tighten and dealers report problems, new settings called calibrations are developed by the manufacturer and as & when needed your dealer connects to the vehicles various ecu’s (electronic control units) and updates them as necessary, remap tuning uses this exact same method to change the settings that govern power. Done correctly by an experienced tuner, its completely safe for your engine..
Although manufacturers build in security measures to stop owners & urchins like myself changing the factory settings, the tuning industry has developed tools and methods to overcome this, so in exactly the same way as a regular main dealer’s update is applied, we can recalibrate your engine’s ECU & achieve a far better spread of power and normally maintain or improve the van’s economy… goto to page 2 – benefits of van tuning»
