Stage 1 remapping in Fareham
The M27 is the only motorway listed for Fareham, and the A27, A32, A334, A3051 and A3222 make up the rest of its main roads. Portsmouth is 9.1 km away and Hedge End 10.5 km. For a diesel that regularly joins the M27, Stage 1 remapping changes how the engine delivers its power. The remap alters fuel, boost and timing settings in software, kept within the engine's limits, and nothing is fitted. The gain is mid-range torque: lane changes need less planning, and the car holds a higher gear on gradients. Your insurer must be told about the remap.
