Stage 1 remapping in Carlton
Two service areas lie within 5.4 km of Carlton: Pierrepont on the A52, 4 km away, and Trent Bridge Services on the A6011. The town runs straight on into the wider Nottingham built-up area. Where a journey combines city streets with a stretch of the A52, it is on the faster part that Stage 1 remapping is easiest to feel. On a diesel it adds mid-range torque, which helps when merging, overtaking and pulling up through the gears. Only the engine's software settings for fuel, boost and timing are touched, within what the engine can take, and no parts are fitted. Any remap must be declared to your insurer.
