Stage 1 remapping in Melton Mowbray
Reaching the next town from Melton Mowbray means a run of some distance: Syston is 15 km away in a straight line, Oakham 15.1 km and Mountsorrel 18.1 km. With the A606, A607 and A6006 as the main roads, much of that is A-road driving, where the useful thing is being able to overtake briskly when a gap opens. Stage 1 remapping helps a diesel do that by adding torque in the middle of the rev range, so the engine responds more readily and hills need fewer downshifts. It is a software change to fuel, boost and timing, made within the engine's limits, with no hardware added. Tell your insurer once it is done.
