ECU Repair and cloning in Manchester

At BRS Remapping, we diagnose, repair, clone, and program Engine Control Units (ECUs) for cars and vans across Manchester, including mobile ECU repair where required. We offer complete ECU repair and engine management services for petrol and diesel vehicles.

ECU Diagnostics

Professional diagnostics identify ECU-level faults accurately. We use dealer-level tools and bench testing to confirm whether the fault is repairable before any work begins.

ECU Repair

ECU repairs fix internal electronic and software failures which include burnt or failed components, corrupted firmware and power supply failures


ECU Cloning

ECU cloning copies all data from a damaged ECU to a donor unit, which is ideal when the original ECU is beyond repair.

Mobile ECU Repair and Cloning in  Manchester


ECU repair involves diagnosing and correcting internal electronic or software faults within the engine control unit rather than replacing it entirely. In the beginning you may notice poor fuel economy or efficiency. Eventually you may find that the engine won't start, or keeps cutting out while driving. There may also be multiple dashboard warning lights highlighting the ECU sign. Modern vehicles rely on the ECU to manage fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and communication between vehicle modules.


Our ECU repair process begins with
accurate fault confirmation, not assumption. Many vehicles are incorrectly diagnosed with ECU failure when the issue lies with wiring, sensors, or power supply faults. ECU cloning can be done carried out when the ECU is too badly damaged to repair but its data remains readable. This commonly occurs with severe water ingress, burnt processors, or internal memory failure.


Common ECU Failures

At BRS Remapping, we use dealer-level diagnostics combined with bench testing to confirm whether the ECU itself is defective. Once confirmed, the ECU is removed and inspected at component level:



  • Power supply and voltage regulation failures
  • CAN communication errors
  • Internal short circuits
  • Corrupted software or EEPROM data
  • Injector driver failures
  • Water ingress damage


Should you repair or replace your ECU?

ECU repair is chosen because it is faster, cheaper, and preserves original vehicle data. Replacement ECUs often require dealer coding, immobiliser pairing, and higher cost:


  • Lower cost than ECU replacement
  • No immobiliser reprogramming in most cases
  • Original mileage and VIN retained
  • Quicker turnaround
  • Environmentally responsible



Our comprehensive mobile mechanic services also include ECU repair and replacement if needed. We also offer breakdown and assistance, oil filter changes, tyre fitting and replacement, electrical system repair, mobile diagnostics and fault code analysis

Advanced ECU remapping and tuning in Manchester

Beyond Manchester ECU repairs and cloning, we offer advanced ECU stage 1, 2 and 3 remapping - which optimises your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, torque and power. We conduct full pre-remap health checks to ensure your engine and systems are within safe operational limits before any tuning takes place.


During ecu remapping, we adjust fuel maps, boost control, timing, and airflow parameters — all tailored to your vehicle. Post-remap, we conduct road tests to validate gains and ensure no fault codes appear. Remapping is not just about power; it’s about real-world drivability improvements while maintaining engine health and compliance where possible.

Mobile Mechanic FAQs

  • What is an ECU?

    An ECU (Engine Control Unit) is the vehicle’s primary electronic control module that manages engine operation and communicates with other systems. It processes data from sensors such as crankshaft position, airflow, temperature, and fuel pressure, then controls fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and engine protection strategies.

  • Is ECU repair safe for my vehicle?

    Yes. ECU repair is safe when carried out by specialists with the correct equipment and experience. Repairs involve restoring original circuitry and validating functionality before refitting. It is significantly safer than driving with unresolved ECU faults or fitting untested replacement units.

  • How much does ECU repair cost?

    Prices depend on the fault, the vehicle make and model, and sometimes engine size. Request a quote and we can tailor the right package to your needs.

  • Can I drive with a faulty ECU?

    Driving with a faulty ECU is not recommended. ECU faults can lead to engine shutdown, poor fuel control, or damage to emissions and fuel system components. Diagnosis should be carried out as soon as symptoms appear.

  • Will ECU repair change my mileage?

    No. ECU repair retains all original data, including mileage, VIN, and immobiliser pairing. If cloning is required, all data is copied exactly from the original ECU to the donor unit, ensuring seamless installation.
