After an EPC screenshot

[Sp!ke]

Can someone do me a favour and send me a EPC screenshot of the exhaust system of a 230 CE please?

What I need is two screenshots, One Pre-CAT (I guess 1990 and earlier and one with CAT 1991 and later.

My original exhaust system is currently emitting a death rattle (after 14 years) and I refuse to have to buy a new CAT for it so I need to know which bits are interchangeable etc.

I think most of us here have the USA one, hence no 230.... Sorry!

Thanks for that Shude... most appreciated

Looks like it can be done, but the front and middle section will need to be changed - but interestingly, both types appear to have a lambda sensor fitted.

Still its gotto be cheaper than having to get the one with the cat.

There are 2 more pages of later exhaust bits but I assumed they were of no use to you, page 3 was M103 and M104 I think (6cyl?) and page 4 was shielding.

Would it still pass an MOT without the catalytic converter? Do they even check on the test?

IIRC Before 1992 vehicles were not required to have a cat fitted - and this is reflected in the MOT test.

If the vehicle does not need a cat I believe you are allowed to remove it - it must still pass the emissions levels though.

I may well be wrong here, but I am sure someone mentioned that some vehicles (which should have a cat fitted) can pass the cat-specific emissions test without having the cat fitted (obviously an engine in tip-top condition running perfectly!) as long as the emissions are within range?

I think there are quite a few cars that were fitted with cats before the requirements came into force, Mercedes included.

HTH,

Mine's a 1991 model, so no CAT required for MOT
