Stage 1 remapping in Bradley Stoke
Only 2.1 km separates Bradley Stoke from Patchway, and Filton and Stoke Gifford are 2.6 km away each, with Frampton Cotterell and Winterbourne at 4.5 km. The town forms the northernmost part of the Bristol built-up area. For a car or van that tows a caravan or trailer, or often runs with a full load, Stage 1 remapping changes how the engine handles that weight. The remap alters the fuel, boost and timing settings through software, while keeping to the engine's limits. With something hitched behind, the extra mid-range torque on a diesel is the difference between holding a gear on a long drag and changing down.
