Stage 1 remapping in Wellingborough
Rushden, Kettering and Northampton all lie within 15.1 km of Wellingborough, and Burton Latimer is closer still at 6.7 km. On short runs between towns like these, Stage 1 remapping on a diesel shows up in everyday driving rather than only on long trips: the engine pulls more eagerly from low revs, so you can hold a gear longer in traffic. It is a change of software settings only, covering fuel, boost and timing, and it stays within the engine's limits. It also leaves the vehicle's emissions standard unchanged, and your insurer should be told about it.
