Stage 1 remapping in Clydebank
No car at all: that was the position for 42% of households in the Clydebank locality in Scotland's 2022 Census, against 26.4% across Scotland. Only 17.6% had two or more cars, compared with 30.5%. Where a household's only car is a diesel, a Stage 1 remap is felt on every job that car does. The remap adjusts the fuel, boost and timing settings in software, within the engine's limits, and the result is stronger mid-range torque for joining faster roads and overtaking, with nothing physical added. Fuel use may shift slightly depending on how you drive. Insurers have to be told about a remap, so let yours know.
