Transporter - DPF Off

Pendle Performance are well known within the UK for the custom tuning we do on the VW Transporters, We would also like to let everyone know we can remove the DPF systems from the T5's. The DPF causes many problems on the T5's and removing the system and custom tuning the ecu to turn the dpf off makes these vans run much smoother and also hassle. People have had to spend fortunes on replacing turbos, dpf systems.

We need the vehicle for 1 complete day to carry out the dpf removal and custom ECU remap, Cost for this is £575

Save money with expensive repair bills and also higher fuel costs with having your T5 DPF removed by PendlePerformance



Why Pendle?

With the ever increasing number of tuners popping up everyday claiming to be the next best tuners who do you trust with your vehicle? Well PendlePerformance have been tuning engines long before these fly by night tuners and will still be tuning when these companies are long gone.

We use professional tools such as the CMD which costs 10's of thousands unlike the cheaper china copied tools other tuners use.

You only need read the feedback on many of the UK Vehicle forums (http://www.vwt4forum.co.uk) to know that we stand head and shoulder above majority of the tuners within the UK.



Dealer Diagnostics

Pendle-Performance has extended its tools range yet again so we can fully diagnose any problems on vehicles before carrying out a remap. It's important that the vehicle is running 100% before any remap is done as if there is a problem remapping the vehicle could damage the engine.

Common problems with diesel vehicles is the MAF Sensor (Air Flow Meter) this measures ho much air is coming into the engine and this gives a signal to the ECU (Engine Control Unit) 

We have Full Main Dealer BMW, Ford, Renault, Porsche & VAG (VW / Audi / Seat / Skoda) Diagnostics tools; we also have a Launch X431 & Bosch KTS650 unit.

We understand the importance of having a vehicle running as it should and are not one of these tuning companies that will write any tuned file into a vehicle just so they can make money.

Total Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed.



CMD OBD/BDM

We have just added the excellent CMD Tool to our ever growing list of tools that keeps up once step ahead of all the other cowboys that and popping up everyday claiming to be able to remap any vehicle. It's scary how many people are popping up claiming to be the next best tuning company. We have been going years and will still be going when these here today gone tomorrow tuning companies are long gone.

Be careful what company you decide on using to upload software into the vehicles ECU that controls the engine as if this software isn't 100% correct the engine will not run as it should, first signs are excessive black smoke when accelerating (This is due to the tuners using cheap software to write the maps that is very limited in what it can do and misses majority of the important files within the ecu)

Majority of these companies are here today and then vanished tomorrow, this is because they have so many unhappy customers chasing them to sort out the cockups that they have done they simply close shop and vanish.

Choosing PendlePerformance who are known for the quality of work we do you can be fully guarenteed that the work we carry out on your loved pride and joy will be nothing but 100%

Q: Can I wait with the Car?

A: You are more than welcome to wait with us while the remapping is taking place, most people enjoy watching the process of the remap, but please be aware it does take a few hours.

Q: Why don't the manufactures do this from standard?

A: Manufacturers have to allow for the fact that the vehicle could be going anywhere in the world. This is significant because they have to allow for constantly hot climates very cold climates, and very poor fuels. They also have to allow for customers abusing the car, for example completely missing services. When we re-map your vehicle, it’s mainly for performance, however, it is also fine tuning the engine to run perfectly, as each individual engine is different. When we're finished, your car will run as it always should have done.

Q: Why is re-mapping a better option than a plug in tuning box?

A: The option other than a proper re-map is a plug in tuning box. We often get asked which is best. The simple answer is a full re-map. A tuning box simply gives false sensor values throughout the complete rev-range. The ECU is constantly told (or fooled) that not enough fuel is entering the engine, so it over-fuels the engine to gain performance. Although performance gains are made, these are at the cost of high emissions, higher engine temperatures, and general poor running of the engine. Many sellers of tuning boxes state that they are completely invisible, as they can be removed. This is not the case, diagnostics tools will show errors which have been caused by the incorrect fuelling. Problems related to tuning boxes are poor running, black smoking from the exhaust, rough idle, and clogged injectors and even engine's cutting out.

Q: Why do you need to remove some ECU’s to be able to remap them?

A: 95% of the time we can remap Cars through the OBD2 Diagnostics Connector, sometimes its not possible to communicate through the OBD2 usually this happens if the cars ECU has been tampered with before. So we simply have to remove the ECU from the Car and remap in on the bench in boot mode. There is a £50 extra charge if we have to remove the ECU.

Q: What if I’m not happy with the Remap?

A: Simple, we will put the car back to standard and give a full 100% Refund, this hasn’t happened as yet as all our customers are more than happy and usually recommend us to friends.

Q: If in the future I decided to sell the car and would like it back standard could you do this?

A: Yes we store all original ECU Maps in our Database so it’s a simple cast of just remapping the original map back to the car.

Q: Do you Guarantee the Remap?

A: Yes all out work is carried out by a professional and fully Guaranteed.
