Stage 1 remapping in Huntingdon
Huntingdon sits on the A14, with the A1 and the A1(M) also among its main roads, so long-distance routes are part of the local road network. Joining the A14 from a slip road, or pulling out to pass on the A1, is where Stage 1 remapping is most noticeable on a diesel. The change is made in software, to the fuel, boost and timing settings, and stays within the engine's limits. What you gain is torque in the mid-range. Tow a trailer or carry a load and that extra pull from low revs means fewer downshifts, and the vehicle feels less strained when the road climbs.
