Services

UpNorth Performance Tuning offers a focused range of tuning options for cars and vans from our workshop in Knottingley, close to Pontefract and Wakefield. Every one starts with your vehicle. We identify the engine and software, explain what is realistic and recommend the most suitable option before any work begins.

Browse the cards above, or use this guide to understand how each one works and which might suit you.

ECU remapping is our core service. We offer three levels so you can choose the approach that matches your vehicle and your goals:

• Stage 1 ECU remapping is a software tune for a standard vehicle, improving power, torque and throttle response.
• Stage 2 ECU remapping is for drivers who want more from their vehicle and are ready for a more developed setup.
• Stage 3 ECU remapping is for heavily modified vehicles where the software is calibrated around upgraded hardware.

You can read more about the process on our main ECU remapping page.

Our TCU remapping service focuses on the transmission control unit. Gearbox software can improve shift speed, responsiveness and torque delivery, and it is designed to complement your vehicle’s engine tuning. If you drive an automatic or dual-clutch vehicle, ask us whether this service is available for your model.

Diesel vehicles can suffer from warning lights, restricted performance and regeneration problems. Our DPF solutions and EGR solutions start with vehicle-specific diagnostics, so we can identify the cause of the problem and recommend a practical way forward rather than guessing.

If your vehicle is showing a warning light or going into limp mode, contact us and we will talk you through the options.

Vehicle coding allows certain factory settings and features to be adjusted through your vehicle’s software. It is a quick and tidy way to personalise how your vehicle behaves, and it is available for a range of makes and models. Get in touch to find out what can be coded on your vehicle.

If you are not sure which of our services you need, start with your registration. Our vehicle checker identifies your exact make, model and engine and shows the tuning options available. You can also ask the team for advice, because not every vehicle needs the most aggressive option and a balanced tune is often the best choice.

With more than 12 years of experience, over 2,500 vehicles tuned and a 12-month software warranty on tuning work, you can feel confident in the advice you receive. It is also sensible to check your vehicle’s history before tuning, and you can view an MOT history for free on GOV.UK.

Every enquiry is treated individually. We will explain what each option involves, what it is likely to change and whether any preparation or servicing is worth doing first, so you can decide with all of the information in front of you. There is no pressure to book, and our team is always happy to answer questions by phone, email or WhatsApp.
