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.

Nissan Note DPF Assessment & Repair.

This Nissan came into us with ongoing DPF problems. We quickly got to the bottom of the problem as the DPF pressure sensor had failed and this had caused the DPF to be heavily blocked. Luckily we keep these sensors in stock so the car was quickly back on the road after replacing the sensor, cleaning the DPF using DC Lubricants Ltd Soak & Rinse and an extended road test to monitor live data.

Blood transfusion in

Two Nissan Qashqai's in today and both fixed without needing any parts.

First one was an exhaust temperature sensor fault that was being caused by a loose connection in a plug. Second one was a blocked exhaust back pressure pipe so we cleaned this out in situ.
