nct emissions failure

Get the car serviced properly so that it doesn't pollute the air that others have to breath in. The emissions test exists for a reason, it's not there to be gamed.

No to Dipetane as it takes a long while to work and is not an instant cleaner. Taxis use it.

Huh?

Same boat yesterday. 1.50 limit I came in at 1.71. Diesel car 1.6.

Guilty as charged in driving like miss daisy. I'd rarely get up over 2 or 2.5k Revs. I added a red X and will do another before retest later this week. As advised here also I'll give her a bit of shoe and up the revs day of test. Fingers crossed as i need a pass on this one.

I felt the boys in the test gave it an awful lot of revs during the test i heard her screaming. I get it but can't say i've heard it whine like that in past tests. 0.300 last year's test.

You bought a diesel for the wrong reason as they must get motorway driving to keep the emissions down .

Plan to do a good run on the motorway and hope that Redex works as should remove the crap built up in the exhaust.

NCT were trying to do a burn to see if emissions would drop down , slow and careful dont work for the NCT.

She passed for me this evening lads, thanks for the bit of advice.

Fuel system treatments, Redx & gave her another one of STP diesel emissions reducer/system cleaner. Also pushed on up the Revs on a few longer runs in the lead up to the test.

Limit is 1.500. Last year I was at 0.300, this year o failed at 1.701. after following the above steps it came back down to 0.700 for a pass.

A few lads on here taking the high ground "maybe you should fix the problem" the problem was driving like a pensioner. The engine needed a good work out, it simply needed a clean up and push the shite out the back and we're running nice and lean again.

I'll keep a little diptane going through it now in future.

What a stupid comment ,care to back it up with stats …..

What a strange post. Who are you talking to? Maybe quote the post you're replying to. Assuming you're able to.
