MECHANICAL COVER:

DMA Performance Limited holds no liability for mechanical cover as the nature of performance tuning entails that additional stresses are exerted in order to achieve the power gains.  Additional information on particular items is highlighted below:

  • Turbo – A turbo is a consumable item and can fail even on brand new vehicles running standard tune engines, they can last from 10k miles up to 150k miles and there is no indication of longevity, due to the high rpm’s they operate at a simple small weakness can cause failure. When performance tuning we utilise a very small boost increase which is within the specs of the turbo, this does however have the potential to highlight any weakness’ and can, although very rare, cause the turbo to fail.  This is extremely infrequent however we cannot be held liable in this instance.

 

  • Clutch – The life of a clutch can vary hugely depending on the predominant use, for instance a car used mainly in town will wear the thrust bearing and pressure plate much quicker than a vehicle used predominantly on the motorway. The clutch will undergo additional stress when modified and as such it is not uncommon for it to highlight any weakness in the clutch operation.

 

SOFTWARE:

We provide a lifetime warranty on the software against any bugs, corruption or necessary updates. This is not transferable and is only valid for the original purchaser.

PERFORMANCE TUNING:

Increasing the performance of any engine will exert additional stresses that engines wouldn’t normally undergo.  That’s not to say that it is harmful to the engine for the simple fact that ALL engines are designed to create “Stress”, or “Torque” as it is more commonly known. All modern engines are immensely durable and strong, so we design our remaps to remain well within the design spec of the engine.  This therefore means that in most cases the vehicle will be well within tolerance even when modified.  In saying this, remaps have an uncanny way of finding the “weak links” as such, and can highlight components that are about to fail or operating out of spec.  You must be aware that performance tuning has the ability to highlight issues earlier than the standard map would, and as such you accept this as your responsibility. It is for you to decide if your vehicle is ‘remap ready’ and fit to be tuned. The before and after figures quoted are for illustration purposes only and are not guaranteed. The reason is this assumes that your vehicle is producing the claimed standard power to begin with. It is an accepted fact that vehicles naturally reduce in power over time with age and mileage and how they have been maintained over that time. Although we can guarantee an increase, as with all remaps results may vary.

We will not be held responsible for any accidents, damages, faults, or legal claims as a result of the enhanced performance of the vehicle. The user is also warned that the vehicle performance will be increased after installation of the remap ecu software, and due care should be taken by the user in order to adjust to the new levels of performance.

You accept that DMA performance limited will charge a £50 inc vat non-refundable deposit where they see fit unless authorised by senior personnel.

 

DYNAMOMETER:

It is imperative that all tyres fitted to your vehicle are suitable for use on a dynamometer (no winter tyres, no treaded track tyres, no puncture repairs and are at their usual operating pressures). You understand that we will carry out a pre-tuning health check on your vehicle at a cost to yourself, the customer.

You accept that DMA performance limited will charge a £50 inc VAT non-refundable deposit where they see fit unless authorised by senior personnel.

The vehicle in question must be aligned correctly and with no extreme camber as this can give inaccurate results. All fluid levels must be checked and the vehicle must not have any leaks. Any damage to the dynamometer caused by tyre failures or fluid leaks will be chargeable. Any fluid leaks into the dynamometer will incur a 2 hour labour charge for us to carry out specialist cleaning. Should the vehicle need to be removed from the dynamometer due to any failures on the vehicles part, you will be charged for our time spent to remove the vehicle from the dynamometer, clean or repair as needed and restart the process, this is charged at £90 inc VAT per hour.

You must advise our operator of any REV limitations prior to commencement of works. The vehicle must not have any exhaust leaks as these will affect mixture readings. Although we take as many precautions as possible, all dynamometer runs are at the customer’s own risk. Rolling road tests create stress on the vehicle and can lead to component failure. As an intending rolling road customer you must read, understand and accept the conditions and responsibilities stated. We recommend you take the time to read through our dyno prep guide. If you would prefer, we can carry out our pre-dyno safety check on site at a charge of £250 inc VAT.

 

DPF DELETION:

It is common for the DPF failure to be a direct result of a chain reaction from multiple component failure. EGR valves, Temp, Lambda, Pressure sensors, Injector Wear, Turbo wear and leaking oil seals being just a few of the root causes of DPF blockage and failure. Therefore, when you request us to perform a ‘DPF delete’ and filter removal from your vehicle you have to accept that it is likely your vehicle may still have underlying problems and that the DPF failure may be just one of many associated issues that need further work in addition to the ‘DPF delete’ process. This extra work is not included as part of the DPF delete process.  Our liability is limited to the 3 points below (Definition of DPF delete). For the purposes of clarity any further diagnosis in to the causation and subsequent rectification of any remaining underlying issues will be classed as additional work and not part of the DPF delete process and is therefore chargeable. You will be required to sign a disclaimer to state that you understand while it’s not illegal to remove a car’s DPF, it is illegal to drive without it if one should be fitted.

 

We define a DPF delete is the process to achieve the 3 points below

  1. Remove the effected DPF filter
  2. Modify the ECU to prevent future regenerations after the blocked filter is removed
  3. Modify the ECU to bring your car out of limp mode and turn off error codes and DPF dash warning lights, *subject to sensors operating correctly

 

CUSTOMER OPTING TO REMOVE THEIR OWN FILTER:

Our guarantee is void when the customer opts to remove the physical filter themselves thereby taking a crucial part of the process from our expert control.
