Emissions

[TonyBlair]

I don\'t have the emissions figures for my MOT (back in November now) to hand. But I do remember that initially it failed on emissions, quite badly (this was mainly due to the turbo\'s passing oil). However I pointed out to the tester that the car was first registered in July 92 and that I qualified for a non-cat test. He then put it through as a non-cat (I have a cat and the air pump) and it was well within the limits. It did however almost fail on the "not produce excessive amounts of smoke as to obscure the view of other road users" test... like I said, my turbo\'s were on their way out and was passing a lot of oil into the exhaust  :mad:

Rich, what year was your car registered?

Cheers

Its Jan \'96, on an N plate.

Not panicing just yet as I\'ve only just had it done, but I thought it would be best to get it sorted out in time for next year....How do you know that you will still be able to do it without putting car details into the car?

I don\'t know to be honest mate... I may get screwed when my MOT comes round. Will have to wait and see, got till November though

Just had my Mot a couple of days ago, its a \'96 but I think they put it through as a \'95 cos they dont have anything above that listed.

Managed to pass a \'Catalyst (closed loop) mot gas test\' with a de-catted straight thru system which im quite pleased about, thought i was going to have to faff about putting the cat back on.

On fast idle I got 0.06 CO, -1 HC, and lambda was 1.3, tolerence for that was between 0.97 and 1.6

What sort of lambda figures would they be looking for on a standardised test?

From what I remember when they tried testing mine, it was between 0.3 and 0.6!!

just had mine done its a 95 on a n plate and my idle emmissions were 6.0%co:eek: single and ****load of mods but thought this was still very high.time for a fiddle down at reworx i think.was lucky this time but am thinking as i have no airpump might have to rig up some sort of electric airpump and run a pipe to the cat for the purposes of a mot
