OK Folks
Car has just failed MOT on emissions
Before I go throwing money at the problem, can I get some views of likely culprits
Here are the figures from the tests:
Fast Idle: CO 1.61% (Max 0.20%) Fail; HC 96ppm (Max 200) Pass; Lambda 0.95 (0.97 - 1.03) Fail
2nd Fast Idle: CO 1.43% Fail; HC 83ppm Pass; Lambda 0.95 Fail
Natural Idle: CO 3.00% (Max 0.30%) Fail
I am aware of a leak in the exhaust manifold gasket area (since having work on head done) which could be contributing.
Do people think new Cat is required?
No OBD codes came up when I checked.
Thoughts please
Oh, and I'll still be at FRL as old MOT doesn't run out until the 23rd!
