About Us - Energy Tuning

Based in Ashington, we specialise in performance and fuel economy tuning on most modern cars and light commercials.

We also specialise in DPF cleaning and repairs and were the founder member of The DPF Doctor network.

The company was formed in 2008 by Darren Darling. Darren is a vehicle technician and diagnostics specialist with 36 years experience and also overseas the training and technical support for The DPF Doctor network.

We take immense pride in our work and treat customers vehicle’s as if they were our own so your pride and joy will be treated with respect while in our care.

We aim to bring you high-quality affordable tuning services without any technobabble and will always give you honest advice, rather than tell you what you want to hear just to get a sale. We will only remap your vehicle if we are satisfied with our pre remap health checks including data logging. This is not just a quick code read as we will be monitoring fueling, boost, DPF condition etc and we repeat this process after the remap.

While carrying out any remap we will be using fully licensed tools including genuine Alientech Kess V3, V2 Master and Alientech K-Tag Master tools. A high-quality battery support unit is also used during OBD programming.

We welcome any questions and you are also welcome to call in for a chat with Lindsey or Darren at the workshop.

Honda Civic DPF assessment due to suspected blocked DPF.

A question that we are often asked is 'how much for a DPF clean' and we will always explain that we won't just clean a DPF without assessing the problem.

This Honda is a great example of why we do this. The DPF wasn't actually blocked, infact it was the opposite with very low pressure. As part of our DPF assessment, we measure the PN (Particulate Number) using our specialist equipment to detect if the DPF is filtering efficiently. Unfortunately there isn't alot of filtering going on here so a new DPF is required.

We also detected a blockage in the low pressure EGR system so all of this information was passed on to the customer.

Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI Euro 6 DPF cleaning.

This Insignia came into us from a regular trade customer after they had repaired a boost leak that had caused the DPF to block up heavily. As always we carry out our DPF Assessment to make sure there were no other underlying issues and we did identify one other problem. This info was relayed back to the garage for them to take care of when the car returned.

We then successfully cleaned the DPF in situ using the awesome DC Lubricants Ltd DPF Soak & Rinse and carried out an extended road test to monitor engine data.

If you are having DPF problems then get in touch as we are always happy to help. As founders of The DPF Doctor network you are in safe hands with the DPF Doctor himself taking care of your vehicle.
