Stage 1 remapping in Batley
Heckmondwike, Dewsbury and Morley all lie within 4 km of Batley in a straight line, at 2.3 km, 3.8 km and 3.9 km, with Liversedge at 4.3 km. Towns this close together mean a lot of driving happens in short stages at lower revs, which is the range Stage 1 remapping improves most. The remap is a software change to the engine's fuel, boost and timing settings, kept inside the engine's limits, with no parts added. A diesel gains torque in the middle of the rev range, so it pulls away from junctions more cleanly and holds a higher gear without labouring. How fuel use changes depends on how the vehicle is driven, and any difference is modest.
