Stage 1 remapping in Brighouse
Only 2.9 km separates Brighouse from Welcome Break Hartshead Moor on the M62, measured in a straight line, and the M606 also appears among the town's main roads. With the motorway that close, a diesel here may spend a good part of its week at motorway speed, and that is where Stage 1 remapping changes how it feels. Merging from a slip road, overtaking and holding a gear on a long incline all become easier. The remap alters the engine's fuel, boost and timing settings in software and stays inside the engine's limits, with nothing bolted on. Fuel use afterwards depends on how the vehicle is driven, and any change is modest, so stronger mid-range torque is what most drivers notice first.
