failed mot on emissons

<< < (2/2)

landroverkeith:
No  :evil:  not yet still not had any luck been mucked about really now have had enough of it

we went to original garage and explained the probem, the guys were great and i cannot fault them in anyway, they swopped the cat over and did say no reason why they would fit a new sensor lol anyways back down to test station mot tester wasnt too chuffed as one of the mecanics had booked it in without telling him opps and it was the end of the day so he said what he would do is stick it on the gas machine without loggin on to see how the cat did.
Well it passed the emission test this time   :evil:  but only just on the line  :evil: because of the cockup with the mot booking he wouldnt run it fully and told us to come back in the morning and to make sure the car was hot etc etc.
 Got there in the morning and blow me if yet again it fails on the emission test this time because the throttle has jammed itself open and is reving like a rude word  :evil:

Currently we are both a little miffed at said car and im still trying to get hold of the local guy to book it in for a test....... lol dont seem to answer his phone or messages lol

--- Quote from: "fudge" ---Depends again on how the cat failed..... as a trader it's really dificult with this stuff, your damned if you do and damned if you don't.... if you suggest the car needs a new sensor 10 others will say not to bother, they're just legging you up!

Get the sensor out and clean it, run an injector cleaner through the system stick a tank of Super Unleaded in it and take the car for a damned good thrashing up a dual carriage way.... no a propper hiding not a trot...

bet it passes with the old sensor.
