Give the daily-use brief
Describe the car or van’s normal journeys, load and the response you would like reviewed. Include the engine and transmission. That is the starting conversation for suitable ECU calibration.
Keep current concerns at the beginning
An emissions warning, inconsistent power or a transmission concern needs describing before extra output is considered. Include the reports and repairs already tried. Another tune should not be assumed to answer an unresolved fault.
Explain any previous software
Tell us whether the vehicle is already mapped and if hardware changed afterwards. Unknown software and a modified build need a complete history so the workshop can discuss the appropriate route.
Confirm the vehicle-specific work
Stage 1 starts with a suitable standard-hardware vehicle. Changes to the specification require a different calibration discussion. Gearbox support, condition and the agreed checks can affect the proposed appointment and quote.
Use the warning-history checklist for a diesel concern, custom tuning for hardware changes and gearbox enquiries for the transmission brief.
