Stage 1 remapping in Wokingham
In the Wokingham built-up area, 52.6% of households had two or more cars at the 2021 Census, against 35.4% across England and Wales. The town also has several neighbours close at hand. Crowthorne is the nearest at 4.5 km, Bracknell is 6.4 km away, and Yateley and Sandhurst both lie within 7 km. Stage 1 remapping changes only the engine's fuel, boost and timing settings, in software and within its limits, giving a diesel extra mid-range torque for overtaking and for hills. Each remapped car has to be declared to its insurer.
