Stage 1 remapping in Hoddesdon
Relatively few Hoddesdon households were without a car in the 2021 Census: 14.2%, against 23.3% across England and Wales, while 44.2% of households in the Hoddesdon built-up area had two or more cars. When a household leans on its cars this much, their condition comes first, so any Stage 1 remapping starts with the vehicle itself: a car with a DPF, AdBlue, EGR or injector fault is repaired before a remap goes on. The remap then adjusts the fuel, boost and timing settings in software, within the engine's limits. On a diesel, the difference is felt as mid-range torque, with stronger pull from low revs and fewer downshifts.
