NCT test: unable to take emmisions reading

    I'm a bit stumped here.
    My car failed the NCT yesterday on emmisions, they were unable to take a reading. The guy I spoke to said that there wasn't enough fumes/gases getting to the sensor they use.
    He suggested that there might be a leak in the exhaust. That's fair enough but I would have thought that if there was a hole large enough for that much fumes to escape the sound of the car would be very different and much louder than what it is.

    The car is a year 2000 1.6 Petrol Ford Focus estate.

    Any suggestions?

    thanks.

    Take it to your mechanic and have them check it out for you?

    If there was a hole in exhaust that fumes escaped through the hole, they should fail it for that.

    What does it say on your fail cert?

    I had this happen to me and it was just blank with no results on that part of the cert.
