Stage 1 remapping in Newton Aycliffe
Forest Park Services is just 4 km from Newton Aycliffe on the A1(M), and Bradbury Services on the same motorway is 5.7 km away. With the motorway that close, plenty of journeys from DL5 begin on a slip road, which is a good test of a diesel's mid-range. Stage 1 remapping alters the fuel, boost and timing settings, keeps inside the engine's limits and adds nothing to the engine bay. You notice the extra torque when merging at speed and when overtaking, and a loaded van needs fewer gear changes to keep up with traffic. A vehicle with a DPF, EGR or injector fault has that repaired before any remap.
