Stage 1 remapping in Newry
Diesel still accounts for 61.4% of privately kept cars in the Newry, Mourne and Down council area, against 52.7% across Northern Ireland, according to figures for the end of June 2026. The same council area had 12,332 private vans, 98.3% of them diesel. With that many diesels on the road, Stage 1 remapping is a fair question to ask before you think about changing vehicle. It is a software change to fuel, boost and timing, within the engine's limits, and nothing is added to the engine. The difference most diesel drivers feel is stronger mid-range pull, which helps when overtaking, joining faster traffic or carrying weight.
