Stage 1 remapping in Kingswood and Fishponds
Many homes in Kingswood and Fishponds run more than one car. In the 2021 Census, 41.6% of households in the built-up area had two or more cars, against 35.4% across England and Wales, and only 15.8% had none. When there is more than one car on the drive, it usually makes sense to look at Stage 1 remapping for the one that works hardest: the vehicle that tows, carries a load or does the longer runs. On a diesel, new fuel, boost and timing settings add mid-range torque, within the engine's limits, so it pulls with less effort and needs fewer downshifts.
