nest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi lads, My car failed its MOT on emissions, where can i get a new cat from, or can i get one off another car from the breakers that will fit ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Iirc the cat tests aren't the same as uk cars so your car shouldn't of failed on emissions even if you had a de-cat. Were the emissions tested when the car was idle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nest Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ah i didn't know that, i just assumed was the same throughout most countrys I think it was tested at a fast idle ? I'll have look on the sheet I got when I get home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigMan Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 im sure they should only do a idle test since its a import Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_trx Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 As with above, should pass without a cat, mine passes everytime no questions asked with a decat fitted...one time it failed for having no side repeaters though! Had to get a mate who once trained MOT testers to go in and have a word...good times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nest Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Right just had a look and it says on the mot fail certificate that it was at a fast idle ? I assume thisMeans they had it reving to some extent ? Cheers for the help by the way lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
