emissions

I've just been comparing the emissions test results for my other car (2000 Honda Accord) from the last 4 years and I can see a trend in the CO reading. Each year it has been getting closer to the maximum limits and this year it was bang on the maximum (fast idle <= 0.2; natural idle...

Hi, I recently purchased an E430 1998 covered 209k miles with sight missfire / hesitation during idle speed of 650rpm, no problem when engine revved above 1500rpm. Took my car to my local garage for mot and it's failing on emissions. During the tests i was running on Shell's Vpower unleaded...

Wonder if anyone can help. I have a 1995 w124 e220 auto. I put it in for its MOT test today, and it failed only on the emissions, specifically the CO reading. The garage told me that the lambda is "switching" properly so it's probably the cat, but it's worth adding some cataclean to the fuel...

I have 1993 MB 190E 2.0 litre engine. The previous owner took in for MOT and it failed the "closed loop cat test". The problems where specifically the "fast idle" CO and HC tests where it scored 6.3% (max was 0.3%) and 206ppm (max was 200ppm). It also failed the second fast idle test with...

12 cities in Germany are now defined as "low pollution zones", and older/high emission vehicles are no longer allowed into them. If you drive through in a newer/better vehicle without a windscreen sticker showing the emissions category you are liable for a 40 Euro on-the-spot fine (as the...

My 1996 C200 Auto (5 speed) passed its MOT on Saturday but I notice from the emissions print out that the CO reading is only just within limits as follows:- FAST IDLE CO Max 0.20% Reading 0.18% NATURAL IDLE CO Max 0.30% Reading 0.29% All other readings are comfortably in the middle of the...

Hello, A friend of mine has a C200 w202 2.0 1995, a very tidy looking car. . . . but it is having emissions problems. He has been told to scrap it and buy a propper car. THIS IS A PROPER CAR!!!!! I need some help to cure his issues. The CO level is at 4.2 when is should be 0.3 The cat in new...

...so says new research conducted by the AA linky Quote: A shock new study shows that driving at 20mph instead of 30mph actually pumps out more CO2. Research carried out by the AA has revealed that slowing traffic down can boost carbon dioxide levels by as much as 10 per cent. And the...

high folks i need to MOT a car that as been laying around for about a year I have been told i need to drive it about for a week before the test due to high emissions had the emissions checked and they are (CO 0.72% - limit 0.3% ) all the rest are OK my question is do i need to drive it...

NEW EU Emissions rules According to an article in the latest AutoExpress (reviewing the Polo Bluemotion and other economy super-minis) new EU legislation demands that manufacturers reduce the average CO2 output of their model ranges to 130g/km by 2012. Last year, it was 160g/km. This may...

hi, i have a 2001 c class with a 111 evo engine and on its mot test failed miserably on high co.hcc and lambda. the garage i use replaced the upstream o2 sensor but also noted oil in harness.i cannot remember exact readings but can recall co being 10.0 per cent on fast idle and hc and lambda...

Does anyone have a link to a site where you can find out the co2 emissions of post 2001 cars, not just brand new ones? Thanks in advance

New cars are now being graded with regard to emissions, HERE is the DfT list of the best ten in each catagory. Anyone buying a new car may want to take heed of these rankings as it may affect taxation and future resale values. There will be a FUEL ECONOMY GRADING on the windscreen of new cars.

Hi, The following message has popped up in the MFD of my W211: Emissions inspect. performed on time? The next periodic inspection for my car should be performed in May/2008. Can I reset it to pop up only then or can I just clear this message? How is this done? Thanks, Miguel

I sense a collective tightening of sphincters in the boardrooms of Daimler -Chrysler, BMW, VAG, JAGUAR, etc with this announcement. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6334327.stm here's your choice of cars under the 120g/km CO2 at present on the market. the limit for the average car...
