Choose The Correct Postal Route

Postal ECU remapping and control-module repair are different services with different terms, warranties and pricing.

Send An ECU For Remapping

  • Stage 1 tuning from £275 including VAT
  • Economy tuning from £275 including VAT
  • Compatibility confirmed before ECU removal
  • Original ECU file retained where supported
  • Software warranty applies to the tuning file, subject to terms

Send An ECU Or BCM For Testing

  • Use the separate £49 ECU/BCM testing request
  • For ECU testing, BCM testing, cloning or repair
  • For boot-mode work, failed-write recovery or data recovery
  • No extra work starts without assessment and approval
  • Repair and cloning work is quoted separately

This page is primarily for postal ECU remapping. If the unit is faulty, non-communicating, water damaged or being replaced, use the ECU/BCM testing route instead.

Postal ECU Remapping Process

PPG confirms support first so customers are not removing or posting ECUs unnecessarily.

Confirm

Send the registration, vehicle details, ECU label photos and the tuning service required.

Remove

Only remove the ECU once PPG has confirmed that postal programming is suitable for that vehicle and ECU.

Post

Use tracked and suitably insured delivery. Protect the ECU, connector area and packaging from impact and moisture.

Return

The ECU is programmed with the agreed service where supported, then returned with fitting and aftercare guidance.

Important: a postal remap does not repair mechanical faults. Warning lights, limp mode, DPF faults, AdBlue faults, boost issues or fuel-system concerns should be diagnosed before tuning.

Before You Send An ECU

The correct identification and shipping details protect the customer, the ECU and the booking record.

What Postal Remapping Can Cover

The exact service depends on ECU support, software version, vehicle condition and the customer's intended use.

Tuning Options

  • Stage 1 performance software
  • Economy-focused calibration
  • Stage 2 enquiries where hardware and use are suitable
  • Original-file backup where supported
  • Advice where workshop diagnostics are the better route

Accuracy Rules

  • Performance gains are vehicle-dependent
  • Fuel savings are not guaranteed
  • Calculator figures are estimates, not dyno results
  • Faults must be diagnosed before tuning
  • Road vehicles must remain legally compliant

Any fuel savings are dependent on the vehicle, journey type, maintenance condition and driving style. Fuel savings are not guaranteed.

Repair, Cloning And Data Recovery

Faulty control-module work should not be treated as a normal postal remap.

Tuning and hardware repair have different warranty terms. The lifetime software warranty for remapping does not apply as a lifetime warranty for physical ECU, BCM or electronic-module repair.

Postal Remap Questions

Quick answers before booking a postal ECU remapping job.

Can every ECU be remapped by post?

No. Support depends on the ECU type, vehicle, software version, access method and whether the ECU can be safely processed away from the vehicle.

Do I need to contact PPG before sending my ECU?

Yes. Always contact PPG first with the registration, vehicle details and ECU label photographs so compatibility can be checked before removal.

How much is a postal Stage 1 or economy remap?

Supported Stage 1 and economy postal remaps start from £275 including VAT. Delivery is separate unless it is expressly included in the quotation.

What if my ECU is faulty or needs cloned?

Use the separate ECU/BCM testing request. The £49 test covers the initial bench assessment only, and repair, cloning or data-recovery work is quoted separately.

Are power gains or fuel savings guaranteed?

No. Performance gains are vehicle-dependent and fuel savings are not guaranteed. A postal remap cannot fix mechanical or emissions faults.

Send An ECU For Postal Remapping

Send the vehicle details and ECU label photographs first. PPG will confirm compatibility, explain the correct postal route and keep repair or cloning work separate from the remap.
