Modern turbo diesel engines are controlled by an ECU which looks after the timing of the engine, the control of the fuel, the turbo boost, plus any other action that helps the engine to work as efficiently as it can. Manufacturers tend to set the characteristics of the engine in the factory but the ECU can actually be remapped as an aftermarket process. Tuning specialists can carry out Diesel Tuning on the vast majority of turbo diesel cars. They can link up with the ECU via the car`s diagnostic socket and link a laptop directly to the original maps on the system. Once this happens the original map can be copied onto a software system and various constraints can be altered so that the engine can provide more power an increase in torque, or better fuel economy. Motorists might want to have the Diesel Tuning carried out to give the turbo an additional boost. This can provide the car with extra punch when it comes to overtaking, or just enhance the driving pleasure in general. The Diesel Tuning can be carried out solely for the purposes of enhancing the fuel economy of the car. It might already be fairly frugal but once the remap takes place an increase of 15% in fuel economy can easily be achieved.

I was going to London with four friends to stay in a family member`s apartment in the centre of town. We had planned shopping, site seeing and of course to hit the top night clubs of London. We were all excited as we had arranged to hire a car so we could visit our friends in Deal, Kent. They moved out to Kent together last year to live close to his parents, after being engaged for nine months and we had not seen them since. The car hire London based was fairly easy to organize; I searched for `car hire London` online and it brought up several company`s with good rates. We ended up with a trendy motor which we enjoyed cruising around town in. We traveled to Deal early in the morning and arrived at 9am, my friend`s dad works driving the trains in the channel tunnel so they had a surprise to take us on their family ticket over to France for the day shopping. We were so happy and knew it would be a fabulous day catching up. We have the hire car London for five days so we are going to make the most of it. Our trip to France was unexpected and exciting.
