Went for an MOT test on Saturday and it failed emissions. I was stumped as last year it performed really well. It was way below the figures.
I drive 60-70 miles everyday and the car was driven upto the rev limiter briefly before the mot to clear any deposits.
I had the CAT changed last year by Grays. I dont know whether that has anything to do with it. Plus i have K&N Filter installed.
Following are the results
NATURAL IDLE TEST
CO=.469% PASS
FAST IDLE TEST
CO=.605% FAIL
HC=93ppm PASS
Lambda=1.070 FAIL
SECOND FAST IDLE TEST
CO=.745% FAIL
HC=140ppm PASS
Lambda=1.063 FAIL
They have asked me to get the Lambda and CAT changed. I cant believe it as it has only just over a year i have had the CAT changed. I do note however i am having to top up the oil by about a litre or so once a month.
Please advice.
