Your summer holiday is around the corner.
Long motorway runs, winding country lanes and ferry crossings all lie ahead.
A pre-holiday ECU remap primes your car for the journey—boosting mid-range punch, extending fuel range and ensuring total reliability on every mile.
Why a Pre-Holiday Remap Matters
Factory ECU settings balance performance, emissions and fuel economy for mixed global use.
But on a long trip under load, you want more:
- Strong overtakes: Quick responses when you pass slower traffic on A-roads or dual carriageways.
- Steady cruise: Higher gears for longer stretches, reducing revs and fuel use.
- Heat resilience: Optimised timing and boost control to keep engine temps in check on hot days.
By tuning fuel maps, boost targets and ignition timing, we shift the envelope toward a drive that suits holiday loads, roof boxes and camper conversions.
Key Benefits for Your Trip
1. Improved Fuel Range
More torque low down means you spend less time in lower gears.
On a 2.0 TDI Passat, customers often see a 10–12 % MPG gain on motorway runs—translating to an extra 50–70 miles per tank.
Use our remap calculator for personalised estimates.
2. Sharper Overtakes
Whether you’re on the M6 or rural B-roads, extra mid-range torque gives you confidence when overtaking.
A pre-holiday remap lifts torque where it counts—around 2,000 rpm—so you don’t need to drop gears just to pass a slower van.
3. Engine Cooling & Safety
Hot weather and sustained high load can push engine temperatures up.
Our maps slightly retard ignition timing and manage boost to reduce combustion heat, while diagnostics pre- and post-flash ensure cooling fans and sensors work perfectly.
What We Tune in a Pre-Holiday Remap
- Fuel delivery: More precise injector timing for cleaner, more efficient combustion.
- Boost control: Optimised turbo pressure for consistent response without spikes.
- Ignition timing: Adjusted to balance power and heat under constant load.
- Throttle mapping: Smoother pedal response for easy multi-hour drives.
We start with full diagnostics using Autotuner or CMD Flash, read the stock map, apply bespoke edits, then verify health and performance on the road or rolling road.
Real-World Example
| Model | Metric | Stock | Pre-Holiday Remap |
|---|---|---|---|
| VW Passat 2.0 TDI | Torque | 350 Nm @ 2,000 rpm | 400 Nm @ 1,900 rpm |
| VW Passat 2.0 TDI | MPG (motorway) | 58 MPG | 64 MPG |
On a recent mobile service in Staffordshire, a customer drove 400 miles non-stop and saved £20 in fuel costs—enough for an extra night’s stay.
Mobile or Garage—Holiday Prep on Your Terms
Pick the convenience you need:
- Mobile Remap: We come to your home or workplace across Staffordshire and Cheshire East.
Ideal if you’re packing up and can’t spare workshop time. - Garage Remap: Visit our Hanley workshop for a rolling-road power check and add-ons like oil changes or filter swaps.
Located at Unit 2, 2 Cutts Street, ST1 4LX.
Either option includes a before/after report and Q&A to make sure your car’s ready for the miles ahead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a holiday remap affect my warranty?
No. We backup your original ECU file and restore it for any dealer visit, then reapply the tuned map afterward.
How long does the service take?
Mobile sessions take ~2 hours.
Garage visits with dyno runs take ~3 hours, including checks and printouts.
Can a summer remap help with towing?
Absolutely.
Extra torque at lower revs makes pulling caravans or trailers smoother and keeps engine strain down on long hauls.
