Vauxhall Vivaro at RWG Engineering Redruth receiving a Stage One remap by Kernowsport

Vauxhall Vivaro Stage One Remap and Emissions Fix at RWG Engineering, Redruth

We were recently called out to help with a 2018 Vauxhall Vivaro at RWG Engineering in Redruth — and this one had a full list of common van troubles. Like many late-2010s Vivaros and similar Peugeot models, it was suffering from a combination of EGR problems, AdBlue faults, and DPF issues. This hardworking van was clearly tired and running rough, and with it being a vital vehicle for the team at RWG, they needed a fast, professional fix. Owner Ross decided to make the most of the visit by having a stage one performance remap done at the same time — a great way to boost reliability and driveability once the emissions faults were resolved. We carried out the work at the Harts Haulage workshop in Pool, where RWG Engineering is based. At Kernowsport, we understand that vehicles like this are tools of the trade — downtime costs money. That’s why we were happy to get to the site by 6PM to make sure everything was sorted and back on the road by morning. The result? A smoother, stronger, and more reliable Vivaro — with a noticeable boost in performance thanks to the custom remap. Mobile Van Remapping and Diagnostics

Nissan Qashqai remap in Liskeard by Kernowsport

Nissan Qashqai Stage 1 Remap in Liskeard – Fault Fixed and Performance Restored

We were recently contacted by Gary in Liskeard who needed urgent help with his Nissan Qashqai. Another tuner had attempted to remap the vehicle, but the job had gone badly wrong — resulting in multiple error codes and an incomplete remap. The car was struggling with poor driveability, severe turbo lag, and performance that was far below par. When we arrived, we weren’t sure what we’d find. It was possible that the ECU had been left in an unstable or damaged state. At Kernowsport, we’ve seen plenty of cases where poor tuning attempts can create more problems than they solve. Our first step was to perform a full diagnostic scan and reset all existing data on the ECU. Once we had a clean baseline, we applied a proper Stage 1 performance remap, calibrated specifically for smoother throttle response, improved torque delivery, and more usable power across the rev range. After finishing the work, we went out on a test drive with Gary — and the results spoke for themselves. He was absolutely delighted, commenting that the remap had completely transformed the way the car drove. That’s exactly the kind of feedback we love to hear at Kernowsport. It’s why we

VW Transporter T5 EGR Delete in Camborne, Cornwall

VW T5 Remap in Troon, Camborne – Performance & Fuel Economy Upgrade

This morning, the KernowSport team was out in Troon near Camborne, Cornwall, to carry out an ECU remap on a stunning VW T5 Transporter. The van’s owner, Matt, had requested a “blend” remap, which is the ideal solution for drivers looking to boost performance without compromising fuel efficiency — particularly useful for older or high-mileage engines. This particular van had over 250,000 miles on the clock, but with Volkswagen’s legendary reliability, we’ve seen similar 2.0 TDI engines still running strong past 400,000 miles. What We Did: Matt was a pleasure to deal with, and it’s always rewarding to help a well-maintained van stay road-ready and running better than ever. This visit is another example of how Kernowsport’s mobile tuning service is helping drivers across Cornwall improve performance, reliability, and fuel economy.     Why Choose Kernowsport for VW Remaps in Cornwall?   Whether you’re in Troon, Camborne, Redruth, Truro, or anywhere in Cornwall, we bring expert ECU tuning to your door.     Book Your VW T5 Remap Today Want more performance and better fuel economy from your van?

Vauxhall Vivaro Stage 1 Remap

Evening Mobile Van Remap for Tradesman in Godolphin – Stage 1 ECU Upgrade to 160BHP Another last-minute job completed today by the Kernowsport team! Tim, a hardworking self-employed tradesman, needed a power boost for his van—but couldn’t afford any downtime during his busy workday. We arranged an evening remap service to suit his schedule. Conveniently, we had just finished a tuning job nearby in Godolphin, so we stopped by on the way back to Kernowsport HQ in Hayle to carry out the upgrade. Tim’s van was running a standard 109BHP engine, which was struggling with hills and overtaking. After a Stage 1 ECU remap, the van is now producing 160BHP—giving it a major performance boost. Tim described the improvement as “a big and noticeable difference!” At Kernowsport, we understand that your van is your livelihood. That’s why we offer mobile ECU remapping across Cornwall, working around your schedule—whether that means evenings, weekends, or while you’re on a job. 👉 Contact us today to book your mobile van remap and experience the Kernowsport difference..

Mercedes E250 WGR delete, DPF delete and remap by Kernowsport

Mercedes E250 Diagnostic & ECU Repair – Mobile Visit to Falmouth

This Mercedes E250 came to us with multiple dashboard warning lights, including check engine, service required, and EGR system faults. The vehicle was in a poor state, but we were more than happy to help — even on a Sunday morning, travelling directly to the customer in Falmouth. As the ECU had already been remapped elsewhere, we started by taking a full backup of the existing file. We then carefully removed the EGR and DPF warning codes, resetting all fault lights and restoring the vehicle to full working order. Now, the dashboard is completely warning-free, and the customer is safely back on the road. Thanks to our Starlink satellite internet, we’re also able to accept secure card payments from any location — making our mobile vehicle diagnostics and ECU tuning services even more convenient across Cornwall.

Performance Upgrade: Fiat Ducato Remap & DPF Regeneration

We recently gave our ex-BT Fiat Ducato a much-needed performance boost. The standard 2.0L 2017 model comes with just 115BHP – the entry-level engine in the Ducato range – and it really shows when climbing hills. It’s a solid van, but a little sluggish, especially when fully loaded. This model, like most Ducato, Boxer, and Relay vans, requires the ECU to be removed for tuning – a bit of a hassle, but it comes with benefits. Removing the ECU allows us to take a full backup of the original software, which is always handy if a rollback is ever needed. While it may look like open-heart surgery for your van, ECU removal on the Ducato is fairly straightforward. And the results speak for themselves: we boosted the power from 115BHP to a lively 190BHP – a transformation you can really feel on the road. We also carried out a DPF regeneration and removed the factory speed limiter, giving the van a much smoother and more responsive drive. If you’ve got a Fiat van that’s feeling underpowered, this is a great reference point for what’s possible. Get in touch to unlock your van’s full potential.

Mercedes Benz A180 AMG 1.5 Diesel Stage One Remap

Mercedes Benz A180 AMG 1.5D Bluetec Remap

This one was a bit of a sleeper—looked fast, but according to its owner, it didn’t quite have the performance to match! With just 109BHP under the bonnet from its small diesel engine, it was crying out for a bit more punch. We were more than happy to help, and headed out on-site to RNAS Culdrose to carry out a remap. We boosted the power up to a much healthier 150BHP, giving the car the performance it should’ve had from the start. Now it drives as good as it looks, and the owner couldn’t be happier with the transformation. Thanks to our fully equipped van—complete with high-speed Starlink internet—we can download vehicle files and software updates from pretty much anywhere. We even take card payments on the spot. Whether it’s a remote airfield or somewhere deep on the Lizard Peninsula, we’ve got it covered.
