Stage 1 remapping in Wrexham
Diesel is holding its ground in the Wrexham council area. At the end of June 2026, 39.2% of privately kept cars there were diesel, against 36.1% across Wales, and the count fell just 2.8% over the year, from 28,252 to 27,448, while the figure for Wales dropped 4.9%. With that many diesels about, Stage 1 remapping in Wrexham is mostly a diesel conversation, and the main gain is torque: more pull at the revs you use every day, so overtaking is easier and hills need fewer gear changes. Only software changes. The engine's fuel, boost and timing are reset within its limits, and no parts are added.
