About Remap and Revive

Trey Drake a month ago

Lovely experience with Gary and beautiful work. I had a 121k diesel that hadn't had a carbon clean before so it did need one, I contacted Gary asking to get it done soon if possible and He was able to slot me in to get the work done in less than 4 days. He was able to do it while I was at work which was a huge bit of convenience to boot, the issue I was having still persisted after the car been clean and he pointed me in the correct direction of what might have been wrong while being able to show me the data for it. I found the problem with his recommendations and because I had to disassemble sections of the intake system to fix the problem, I was able to see his work firsthand, the quality of work done for the carbon clean is something I would compare to a complete disassembly quality wise. Beautifully done with zero signs of him ever being there past the better running car. Great guy with great work I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone needing carbon cleaning and other services he offers in the future

Thank you so much, Gary, for coming out to do a carbon clean and remap on my Transporter T6.

The gear changes are a lot smoother, and you can really feel that the van is more responsive and alive. Really pleased with the results!

I’ll definitely be in touch next year for another carbon clean. 👍

Wishing to consider having a tow car I decided to have my Peugeot boxer based motorhome with a 2.2 litre diesel hdi engine remapped by Gary a few weeks ago and at the time it seemed to be completed extremely quickly. That did leave me wondering if he’d actually done anything at all as he made no reference to a revised version of ecu software but did say there should be more torque however he showed me no visual evidence. In the intervening weeks I took it to the open roads of France and noticed it wasn’t able to reach it’s original top speed and it had developed an issue with the cooling fan rapidly going on and off when slow manoeuvring so I asked him to consider reversing the remap on my return. Days later Gary revisited my home and performed a diagnostic check before considering reversing the remap and said he was seeing a potential dpf sensor issue as it wasn’t giving a reading so didn’t wish to continue with undoing what he’d done and left after explaining that the issues I’d encountered were likely caused by this. He later responded to an email stating he wouldn't as a matter of course have checked for any faults prior to the remap being installed. This I found odd as the R&R web site states that is the first thing a technician would do prior to any remap. Having been imparted with knowledge of this fault I had the motorhome diagnostically checked over by a competent mechanic and he proved that the dpf sensor was working perfectly and that regen was fully operational. So with this evidence I suggested to Gary that his diagnostics had given him a false reading and asked him to come back once more, so this morning he did and he advised me without any proof that he’d restored the ecu to the original manufacturers software revision but provided no comparison or compelling evidence. My suggestion to him was that in the pursuit of customer satisfaction he should maybe consider providing documentary or visual evidence of the process being completed either way. He said in the years doing his job he had never been asked to do that and that some engines do not take kindly to having their ecu re-written. I have since driven the motorhome and it now appears to perform as it previously had and after the expense I am back at square one. My experience should serve as a warning to anyone considering a remap to their vehicle.

I would like to thank Gary for carrying out the carbon engine cleaning on my Mazda CX-3 1.5 diesel. The car is now running much more smoothly, and I'm very pleased with the result. Hopefully, the misfire issue will be completely resolved following the carbon clean. Thank you for your excellent service and professionalism

Absolutely top class service. Had a carbon clean and remap on my 2011 t5 what a transformation can’t believe the difference it has mate to our newly converted camper pulls so much better on the hills with the software Gary installed giving the van more bhp and toque. Will highly recommend and definitely use again in the future. Very genuine knowledgeable guy and a pleasure to deal with
