    I have an 02 polo and it's due for it's nct in march, a while ago the emmisions/engine management light came on and I scanned it and the fault is to do with the cat. I can kill the light for the test but will it have any chance of passing ?

    Depends what you've been feeding the cat, how bad are his emmissions!?

    Could be faulty O2/lambda sensor...probably cheap to replace...saving you the feline part of your car if I'm right.

    It failed mine a few years ago. New(well secondhand) cat in and bobs your mother's brother it passed.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
