Criss Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Please, scoob failed badly on emissions due tho there being no cat and my mate taking it a garage where he doesnt know anyone.... plonker! Doesnt need a brand new one, even one to borrow just for the test, obviously wud leave a deposit if needed! and anymore tips on how to reduce emissions, don't think the car was warm, so gona tell hime to make them warm it before the test. Dump valve was off, standard one back on would a after market air filter alter the amount of emissions?? all sensors are fine! any little screws that we could turn to alter anything?? I had an idea of putting low octane to retard the boost, would that reduce emissions? Its only gona be for the test, no driving involved!
Criss Posted December 22, 2006 Author Posted December 22, 2006 Take it to Prosport they can help out... [Y] I will see if he will take it, apparently it failed very very badly!
*Andy* Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I've still got my original downpipe and midsection if you want to borrow it[Y]. Mine passed test with just the mid section in, however when I had it tested with both off it was not be out to much, if it failing by as much as you suggest is it running too rich? Andy
dave_thorbinson Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I also have an original downpipe cat (MY99 classic) - you're welcome to borrow it, and no urgency to get it back straight away (I have a sport cat downpipe and decat centre on mine now, so no MOT probs, but keeping the original just in case I ever put the car back to std). I'm 5 mins off junction 7 M62 if it's any use.... Dave.
Criss Posted December 22, 2006 Author Posted December 22, 2006 Cheers, andy I touch goats! thanks all three of you for replying. monkey, thanks for offering, see what andy can do first! [Y]
dave_thorbinson Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 No worries mate - hope you get sorted! Dave.
