Subject: Ford Focus 1.6TDCi Remapping from Angel Tuning


Thank you for your enquiry. We offer engine remapping, the modern version of chipping which is the correct way to safely tune a modern diesel engine and is not a so called “tuning box” which simply dumps more fuel into the engine. With our ECU remapping you get smooth and progressive power, with improved response, that can be tailored to your requirements.

We can offer our tuning service either at one of our outlets or at your location with our mobile tech team, who are fully equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment as well as a wide range of tuning hardware. Whilst we normally book 1-2 weeks in advance for mobile and 1-2 days for our outlets it depends when you book in as we can often get customers in earlier.

Our charge for the 1.6TDCi is £325 including VAT. This price includes the engine tuning work to add up to 25bhp, (50lb ft torque) pre and post testing, acceleration testing and travel to your home or workplace. If you take it to our Basildon outlet, the price is £360 all inc and will include a dyno run. To book in either option please call our central booking office on 087 091 091 16.

Angel Tuning are also proud to offer the latest technology in programming units, that allow the owner to switch between standard and one or even two modified settings. With this option, our technicians come to you or you have your car tuned at one of our centres, the owner is then given instruction on how to use a smart menu driven programming tool to enable them to switch between modified and original whenever they like. The additional charge for this option starts at £150 all in.

As the programming tool is only configured for that vehicle, you can either give it to the next owner as part of the sale of the car, or we will purchase it back from you (providing it is in unmarked and working condition) for £75 (or we can take that off the price of doing your next car etc).

We would like to state that we are not the sort of company that tries to get the ultimate extra 1bhp at the expense of drivability just to look good on paper or on an internet forum. Unlike some tuning outlets, we do not quote the power figures from a single dyno run set up to achieve a short term burst of power to win your business. We know from vast experience what these cars can take long term and our aim is to achieve the best combination of power, longevity, economy and as mentioned, drivability.

Whilst we are unable to give an accurate figure on the improvement in economy after your car has been tuned, most people get between 2-6mpg improvement on diesel vehicles providing your driving style and the speed you drive at does not change! As the engine is running more efficiently, the emissions are actually improved so there will be no problem at MOT time should you have the car at that point.

The ECU remapping we do is physically and diagnostically undetectable. Of all the cars we do, some 75% are either brand new (i.e. pre delivery for dealerships) or under warranty because of the stealth nature of it. However, we do understand owners concerns, which is why we offer a free* “return to standard” for any owner who is concerned about taking their car into the dealership with the modified mapping on.


ECU remapping is fully reversible, which means if you are unhappy with the results on the day, we will return the car to normal and thank you for trying us. After this, we offer a 14 day "cooling off" period** during which you can at least get the chance to test our work over distance and familiar journeys. If once again you are unhappy for any reason, we can either modify what we have done or indeed return the car to standard and give you a full refund. When you come to sell the vehicle we can return the car to standard for you free of charge****.

Our technicians are full insured not only to carry out the work on your vehicle but to fully test drive a modified car too, which is something we implore you to check if you decide to go elsewhere for a “cheap deal”.

Angel Tuning are a UK wide company with locations strategically placed to ensure coverage. We are big enough to cope with the largest of demands but still retain the small company approach to care and flexibility. By becoming an Angel Tuning client, you benefit from the experience of a company tuning in excess of 200 vehicles per month and a commitment to customer support and satisfaction. We are an independent tuning company, we are not dictated to by being a franchise of another tuning company and can therefore be flexible to every individual’s needs, be it from a dealership to a private individual.

We accept all major credit/debit cards except American Express, cash or cheque.

I will leave you to consider the details, should you require further information, please do not hesitate to either drop us another email or call us for a friendly chat on 087 091 091 16.

Best regards

Nigel

*The work is free, however we will charge an agreed expense if you want the technician to come to you.
** This can be extended by agreement in certain circumstances
*** This is refunded as part of the full refund should you not be satisfied with the work in any way
**** We will request and agree a reasonable fee to cover travel for the technician to come out to you


If you are fitting an induction kit, it MUST be an enclosed system and not anything like the woefull K&N 57i (which shouldnt be used on any modern car!). You can fit this before or after as the MAF (air flow sensor) will pick up the changes anyway.

If the exhaust system is simply cat back, its not going to make any difference. We don't recommend you decat small deisel engines, they need an amount of back pressure. We can do a cat back in top grade stainless steel for as little as £350 all inc including tail peice design of your choice.

Its highly unlikely that Ford will flash an update on your car, but if they do we redo the modification for £25 (to cover call out). Winter and summer makes no difference, thats what the MAF will take into account in the same way as it does on the standard map.
