No Cat for MOT?.

<< < (2/3) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
I was under the impression that after 1992 the MOT tester should run a CAT test. If no CAT is present, he cannot do this and should fail the car. So although it is not illegal to remove the CAT, it technically cannot pass an MOT.

Might be wrong, but that's the way I understood it. Mike?

MK1:
All post '92 (J reg) vehicles will have cat's fitted, but the emissions allowed get tighter the newer the vehicle. I can't remember the dates or amounts though. Having said that most ECUs will throw up the light or go to limp home mode if the cat is removed.

generation-x:
as ive said gen-x has had 3 mots without its cat fitted and the last one was the new computer mot so shud be ok

Evilgoat:
It may be OK if the emissions are under the cat limits. If they are high she'll fail.

Technically you need a cat there but if there is no reason to look...

The Audi has been through 4 without its cat even with the huge sticker in the rear window:

 'Shon Mit Katalyzer Technic!'

Mart:
stick a load of fuel additive in half hour before it should lower emmisions and sail through even if they were high, just a cheeky trick i picked up from an mot man
