Our work

Regular servicing is important to maintain performance, safety and longevity. It helps prevent minor issues turning into large costly repair bills, it also helps to keep your vehicle safe for both you, the people in your vehicle and others on the road. regular maintenance helps reduce risk of breakdowns, accidents and help increase fuel efficiency as well as overall performance. A full service history can also help in the resale of your vehicle and get a better value when potential buyers know the vehicle has been cared for. Safety Prevents Accidents: regular servicing allows technicians to indentify and fix issues with critical safety systems, like brakes, suspension and tyres before they would fail leading to serious accidents Performance & Reliabilty Smooth Operation: Routine services ensure that vital parts like the engine, transmission, and other systems are functioning as intended Reduces Breakdowns: Maintenance addresses potential issues before they escalate into major mechanical failures, preventing inconvenient breakdowns and costly emergency repairs Longevity & Value Extends Vehicle Lifespan: Proper care prevents premature wear and tear on components, allowing your car to operate effectively for many more years Boosts Resale Value: A full service history shows that the car has been well maintained, significantly increasing its value when you decide to sell or trade it in Saves Money Saves Money: While there is an ongoing cost to maintenance, the price is far lower than the expensive repairs that can result from neglecting your car.

In this article we are going to discuss the problem that has been destroying the newer Euro 6 engines in the Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG). The Euro 6 engine is any engine produced since 2014 and predominantly effects the 3.0L TDI varrient of the Euro 6 engine. The problem is due to an emissions fix by the Volkswagen Audi group that lowers oil pressure in the vehicle at low RPMs, this in turn is causing premature wear and tear on engine internals and we are seeing engines seize on average around 45- 50,000 miles. Now there is other factors that effect this number such as regular maintenance, driving style and transmission but on average 50k miles is when major engine issues are occurring in these engines particularly with the automatic transmission, thats because with an automatic transmission the vehicle changes gear at low rpms which is were the oil pressure issue is most prominent. What is wrong with the oil pressure? Oil is used in your engine to lubricate all the moving parts and stops friction and premature wear on those parts, Oil pressure in vital to engine health and the engine builds pressure with the oil pump to force the oil up through the engine and its galleries and oil ways to wear it needs to be, like bearings and crankshaft. The pressure in the TDI is variable and changes based on temperature and rpms. All this information is stored in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) which allows programers like MSK to adapt these values to increase oil pressure in the trouble areas which are causing the premature failure. The trouble areas are predominately below 2,500 rpm where oil pressure doesn't increase along side the increase in rpms like it should. Due to oil pressure not increasing the engine isn't getting properly lubricated and this is the main reason for engine failure in these euro 6 engines. How do I know If My Vehicle is Effected? The only way to see if your vehicle is effected by this oil pressure issue is with a diagnostic tool that allows access to the live data reading of the vehicle, then we simply look at the engine oil pressure and the engine rpms, next we see how the oil pressure reacts to the engine rpm increase to see if the problem is present in the vehicle. This whole procedure is relatively straight forward for any mechanic to test and confirm. What is the Fix? To fix this issue requires the skills of a remapping company such as MSK Remapping. What we do is access the ECU in the car and reprogram the oil pressure data for the vehicle so that it runs smoothly at all points like it should do. After the remapping has taken place we would then use the diagnostic tools to confirm that the programming has been successful and that the car is in a safe state for driving.

At MSK Remapping we have the pleasure of working on a great number of different car makes and models, all with little differences when it comes to working on them. In this post we are going to specifically look at our experience with Jaguars. We have had the pleasure of working on a great number of Jaguars now, the Jaguar XE and the Jaguar XF being the most common we have been requested to work with. This in large part is because of the Adblue issues that plague modern cars, including Jaguars, now there can be multiple diffenert causes for these faults but they inevitably happen and normally the first signs is a Engine Management light followed by a countdown timer to engine no start, because of this we have been asked on multiple occasions to provide our Adblue solution for customers with this timer. Our solution is effective and difinative in that once the work is complete you will no longer have any adblue related faults on your vehicle moving forward. Performance Upgrades On the other side we have been asked to upgrade the performance of some of our clients Jaguars using our Engine software upgrade and in some cases our Gearbox software upgrade as well. This has raised the performance of these jaguars exceptionally well, on the lower end jaguars of 170BHP to 220BHP and at the top end with higher specification Jaguars with the V6 and V8, we have reached over 400BHP on our software. With our experience of Jaguars we have learnt that these cars can been unpredictable and therefore proper knowledge and care must be taken when doing any form of software on a Jaguar. one of the reasons is because the ignition on most Jaguars will turn off automatically after 10 minutes which if you are in the process of writing new software to the vehicle when this happens, it will corrupt the Engine Control Module or ECM which results in the car being unable to start and a large repair bill for either a new ECM or having the orginal fixed, however at MSK we use state of the art equipment which cant write the software in as little as 3 minutes, long before this issue could happen. Another common issue is that when the upgraded software is being written to the car, the large cooling fan comes on which draws a large amount of voltage from the battery and if the battery falls below 10V on average will automatically tun the ignition off which in turn will corrupt the ECM but at MSK we have a solution, by using the latest in battery support technology we keep the battery voltage at a constant 13V or higher so no matter what voltage draw is on the battery, it will never drop below the required amount for safe programming.

DAZA STAGE 1 : +60-80BHP +120-170nm You should see around 455-475BHP / 600-650nm DAZA STAGE 1 + intake : +70-95BHP +160-210nm You should see around 465-490BHP / 640-690nm DNWA STAGE 1 : +40-60BHP +100-150nm You should see around 435-455BHP / 580-630nm, this is limited by the OPF.
