Stage 1 remapping in Hucknall
Nottingham is 7.6 km from Hucknall in a straight line and Kirkby-in-Ashfield is 7.9 km, so the town sits about as close to the city as to its Ashfield neighbour, with Eastwood nearer still at 6 km. If your week mixes short local trips with runs into Nottingham, your engine spends much of its time pulling from low and middle revs. That is where Stage 1 remapping on a diesel tends to make its mark. The fuel, boost and timing settings are changed in software, within the engine's limits, and nothing is bolted on. What most drivers notice is firmer mid-range torque, so the car picks up cleanly at low speed and needs fewer downshifts.
