Stage 1 remapping in Aldershot
Four places lie within 5.1 km of Aldershot: Ash and Ash Vale at 2.3 km, Weybourne at 2.9 km, Farnborough at 4.2 km and Farnham at 5.1 km. With neighbours that close, a lot of local driving is likely to be short trips, pulling away from junctions again and again. That is where a diesel's response from low revs gets noticed, and it is the part of the rev range Stage 1 remapping works on. The extra torque means the car picks up more cleanly and needs fewer gear changes in traffic. The remap is a software change to fuel, boost and timing settings, kept inside the engine's limits, with no extra parts. Insurers must be told about it once it is done.
