Define the vehicle's job
For a van, describe its normal load, delivery pattern and transmission. For a car, explain whether the brief is everyday response, a modified hardware project or an investigation of existing tuning. These details make the enquiry more useful than a requested power figure alone.
Newport, Cwmbran, Risca and Chepstow drivers bring their vehicles to our Llandow workshop. Send the brief first so support, condition and the appropriate appointment can be considered before the journey.
Record the starting condition
Include warning messages, fault codes, clutch behaviour and recent repairs. A repeated DPF warning or AdBlue countdown should be described accurately. It can change the order of the work and may require a diagnostic discussion before any tuning plan.
Use the DPF investigation, EGR fault and AdBlue diagnostic pages where those systems are the main concern. Do not treat another remap as a substitute for understanding an unresolved fault.
List the actual hardware and software
Send the registration, engine, gearbox and drivetrain. List turbo, intake, cooling and fuelling changes, including specifications where known. Mention the current calibration, previous tuning work and any measured results already available.
A standard vehicle can be discussed through engine tuning. A modified setup needs a scope based on those parts and its intended use. Where transmission work is relevant, include the gearbox history too.
Agree testing and workshop time
Explain what needs to be measured or investigated. A rolling-road enquiry can cover a different scope from a calibration booking. Drivetrain suitability and any preparation are confirmed for the exact vehicle.
Send your Newport vehicle brief to discuss support, the proposed work and a vehicle-specific quote. Include any operational deadline so appointment availability can be considered.
