    Hi Guys,

    Posting this for a friend, in for NCT today and got the dreaded news of an emissions fail on the above car.

    Failed on two parts of emissions;

    HC @ 597PPM / Pass 200PPM - FAIL
    LAMBDA @ 1.27 / Not between 0.97 and 1.03 - FAIL

    CO just about passed TBH - CO 0.19% - FAIL CO 0.20% - PASS

    Any ideas what to check? I said be best to pop it into a garage at this stage, I am fairly handy with cars but I don't have the systems to check emissions.

    Run some dipetine thru it and it should pass on the retest.

    Those figures (lambda leaned out to buggery, yet HC emissions through the roof) look like a badly degraded cat to me.

    That's what I was suspecting, coupled with a rattle from the direction from there aswell, sounds like its due a replacement, 200-215km on clock.

    Your friend would certainly need a decent garage to check why the engine is running so rich.
