Stage 1 remapping in Woking
Privately kept diesel cars fell faster in the Woking council area than across England in the year to June 2026. Their number went from 12,515 to 11,410, a drop of 8.8%, against 5.3% across England, and diesel is now 20.9% of private cars in the area, with petrol at 62.9%. If you are keeping a diesel rather than trading it in, Stage 1 remapping is one way to get more out of an engine you already own. New fuel, boost and timing settings, set in software and kept within the engine's limits, give it more mid-range pull for overtaking and joining fast roads.

A remapped Discovery shows the difference most with a trailer behind it.
