Ford Transit SID212 ECU Remapping – Now Done Via OBD!

If you drive a newer Ford Transit or Transit Custom (2018 onwards) with the 2.0 EcoBlue engine, you probably have the SID212 ECU.

 

This was one of the most secure ECUs Ford ever made – UNTIL NOW! 

 

At PA Remaps, we use the latest Autotuner technology which means we can now unlock and remap these units DIRECTLY VIA THE OBD PORT – NO NEED TO REMOVE ANY PARTS! 

 

 

 

 What is the SID212 ECU?

 

The SID212 is the latest engine control unit fitted to modern Ford vehicles. It comes with heavy factory encryption which meant until recently, it couldn't be tuned without removing the unit or sending it away.

 

We have cracked it! We can now work on these vans quickly and easily right here in the North East.

 

 

 

 What Gains Can You Expect?

 

All models share the same hardware, so we can unlock serious potential:

 

Model Standard Power After Remap Gain 

105 PS / 130 PS 105-130 BHP Up to 185 BHP +50-80 BHP 

170 PS 170 BHP Up to 215 BHP +45 BHP 

Torque 360-405 Nm Up to 465 Nm +60 Nm 

 

 Much stronger mid-range pull

 Perfect for towing & loads

 Faster acceleration

 Smoother driving experience

 

 

 

 Fuel Savings

 

For business users, this is a game-changer.

With extra torque available lower down, you don't need to rev as hard.

Save up to 10-15% on fuel costs – that pays for the remap very quickly!
