Our Gloucester Tuning Services & Options
We offer a comprehensive range of tuning options to suit your vehicle and your goals.
Stage 1, 2 and 3 Performance Tuning
ECU Solutions and Corrections
Beyond performance, we provide technical solutions to address common faults. Any modification that alters a vehicle’s factory emissions equipment is not legal for UK road use. Solutions for DPF, EGR, and AdBlue systems are strictly for dedicated motorsport, off-road or export vehicles.
Gearbox Tuning
We also offer gearbox tuning for DSG and automatic transmissions. This can provide faster shift speeds, smoother changes, and remove unwanted flat spots, fully complementing your engine tune.
Our Custom Remapping Process
Your tuning journey with us begins with a detailed consultation and a complete vehicle health check. We then connect to the vehicle’s ECU, read the original manufacturer software and securely back it up. Our technical team then writes a new, custom map tailored to your requirements. After uploading the new software, we conduct final diagnostic checks and a road test to ensure perfect performance.
What Vehicles Can We Remap?
Our tuning services cover a vast range of modern cars, vans and commercial vehicles. Every engine sees a fantastic improvement in performance and responsiveness from a custom tune, and this is especially true for turbocharged and supercharged vehicles, which achieve spectacular gains in power and torque. We have extensive experience with premium manufacturers including BMW, Jaguar, Range Rover, Mercedes and many more. Furthermore, we offer our award-winning BlueOptimize fuel economy tuning for fleet operators in the Gloucester area looking to reduce their running costs.

“I made a 290 mile round trip to take my Jaguar F Type P450 to Viezu yesterday for a P575 re-map. It was a lovely day, the Viezu team were all extremely professional, took me through to the workshop at all major parts of the re-map to observe and gave me a tour of their own ‘stock’ vehicles. It was very interesting and informative. I am delighted with the re-map, bhp up by 129 bhp from 467 to 596 bhp, if it had been a cooler day it would have exceeded 605 bhp, my torque went up by 106 ft lbs from 463 to 569. Well worth visiting them if you have the time. I was delighted writing off the best part of a day, I learnt so much, and all the Viezu team bent over backwards to ensure I knew what was going on.”

Is remapping a car worth it?
Yes, for most drivers it is worth it. A professional remap can dramatically improve your driving experience by increasing power and torque, providing sharper throttle response and enabling safer overtaking. For diesel drivers in particular, our economy tuning can lead to significant fuel savings.
Is remapping a car illegal in the UK?
No, the act of remapping a vehicle’s ECU is perfectly legal. However, it is illegal to modify a vehicle in a way that allows it to bypass its factory emissions controls for use on a public road. All VIEZU tuning for road vehicles is compliant with UK law.
How much will my insurance go up if I remap my car?
You must inform your insurance provider of any modifications, including an ECU remap. While some standard insurers may increase your premium, many specialist insurers are familiar with remapping and offer very competitive policies.
Can insurers tell if a car is remapped?
An insurer can potentially detect a remap through diagnostic checks during a claim investigation. It is crucial to be honest with your provider. Failing to declare a remap can invalidate your insurance policy.
What are the disadvantages of remapping a car?
The biggest disadvantage comes from a poor-quality remap by an inexperienced car tuner. This is why it’s vital to choose a professional company like VIEZU that operates within the safe limits of your vehicle’s components. You must also consider insurance implications and any potential effect on your manufacturer’s warranty.
What are the directions to VIEZU from Gloucester?
