Stage 1 remapping in Bexley
Seven in ten privately kept cars in the Bexley council area run on petrol: 70.8% of 98,067 at the end of June 2026. Diesel makes up 13.5%, one of the lowest shares among the 104 largest towns we cover, and private diesel cars fell from 14,230 to 13,259 over the year, one of the steepest drops in that group. So a Stage 1 remap here is often a petrol question as well as a diesel one. The principle is the same on both: software settings for fuel, boost and timing are changed within the engine's limits, and no parts are added. On the diesels that remain, the gain you notice most is mid-range pull.

The council area has 4,772 privately kept vans, 90.9% of them diesel, and the Ford Transit was the most tested diesel van in 2025 MOT tests across DA postcodes. On a loaded van, extra torque helps, within gearbox and clutch limits. Bexley is inside the ULEZ, where a daily charge can apply to cars and vans, and a remap leaves the emissions standard as it was, so it does not change that.
