Stage 1 remapping in Newark-on-Trent
Both the A1 and the A46 are among Newark-on-Trent's main roads, and each has a service area close to town: Newark Services on the A46 at 2.5 km and Welcome Break Newark on the A1 at 3.5 km, with North Muskham, also on the A1, at 6 km. If your driving often takes you onto either road, the useful part of a diesel's performance is the mid-range, for joining at speed and overtaking slower traffic. Stage 1 remapping adds torque there by adjusting fuel, boost and timing in software, within the engine's limits, with nothing bolted on. Economy changes are modest and depend on your driving.
