Stage 1 remapping in Glenrothes
Driving was how 54.6% of working residents in the Glenrothes locality got to work in Scotland's 2022 Census, compared with 45.9% across Scotland. With that many people driving to work, how a car pulls on everyday roads matters. Stage 1 remapping alters the engine's fuel, boost and timing settings through software, staying inside the engine's limits. A diesel gains most in the middle of the rev range, which is where you are when joining a faster road or passing a slower vehicle. Your insurer must be told about the change, and the vehicle's emissions standard stays as it was.
