Stage 1 remapping in Stratford-upon-Avon
At 13.4 km in a straight line, Warwick is the closest town to Stratford-upon-Avon, and Evesham and Kenilworth are 19.4 km and 19.8 km away. Getting to any neighbouring town means a proper drive, and with no motorway on the town's road list, that drive is on A-roads. Stage 1 remapping is felt most on exactly those runs. The remap is a software adjustment to fuel, boost and timing, inside the engine's limits, and the main gain on a diesel is torque in the middle of the rev range: acceleration on an A-road feels more responsive, and hills need fewer downshifts. How fuel use changes depends on your driving, and any change is modest.
