Car drips bit + nct

flowers345 · 2014-07-03 18:59:01

My car drips a bit of water from the exhaust. No smoke. It is a bit lazy. Should I put in redex to make her go past nct re exhaust emissions? Should I put in instant gasket fixer just to be sure in case the gasket leaks inside?

The process of combustion generates water, you produce more water than you burn petrol, so you can expect a drip on a cold day.

You should bring the car for a spirited drive (motorway, if you're near one) to warm the engine and exhaust system up before taking your vehicle to the test centre.
