Fealscott Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 heres a list of what it failed on: Nearside Front position lamp(s) incorrect colour (1.1.A.2c)Offside Front position lamp(s) incorrect colour (1.1.A.2c)Nearside Headlamp aim too high (1.Offside Headlamp aim too high (1.Nearside Registration plate lamp bulb not working (1.1.C.1c)Rear fog lamp obviously incorrectly positioned (1.3.2a)Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.2b)Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.2b)all of these are easily enough fixed just the emissions thats annoyin, my cars a 93 gt registered on december 31st 1992, i am sure this means it has only got to pass a basic emissions test ie just idling? also, i am running a full 2-1/2 s/s exhaust with gutted cat, rrfpr and fcd, front mount intercooler, my regulator is set at 2.6bar fuel, any idea if it will be enough to pass emissions test just turning it down to 2.4bar as when i put the standard fuel regulator back on it runs crap and backfires high up the rev range, cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 you are right you only have to do a basic emmission test, what was the reading on the carbon monoxide, it should be under 0.20 i believe high corbon monoxide tends to be too much fuel.the other stuff is really simple Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I think you only need a full emissions test is the car is registered after July/Aug 1995 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 rear fog lamp incorrectly positioned ? i thought it just had to be anywhere on the rear bumper ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 ask him what he put in on the emissions test? cause theres nothing on the database for an emissions test for a GT so he's got no data to compare it toohence why a proper emissions test is not needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 rear fog lamp incorrectly positioned ? i thought it just had to be anywhere on the rear bumper ?What he said, I will be fitting a rear fog for my MOT and need to know where it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nastyrash 2003 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 am sure its after k reg 1993 i think the cat new emmissions rules came in, before that i think carbon monoxide can be as high as 3.0 this is wat i had my old scirroco GTX set to and just made it past every time, that was a 1990. check for a leaking or dribbling injector if your HC high (unburnt fuel). wat colour are your plugs and check for fault codes as a faulty air temp sensor or missing termostate are som of the comon problems with high carbon monoxide and hydro carbons, can u tell me wat your O2 read at. if this was high then you have a ignition problem or exhaust leak i would say.

joe-ep91 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I think you only need a full emissions test is the car is registered after July/Aug 1995Well the bloke i use for my m.o.t reckons that because our cars are jap imports that he can not test the fuelling under british laws, therefore my glanza only requires a base idle test.Hope this helps,Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet666 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 having a gutted cat is a sure fire way to fail cause of emissions, because the cat takes the bad stuff out of it, thats why when u run a car too rich with a cat converter it fouls up and falls apart, because its lifespan has been shortened by a large amount.in australia, every car manufactured after 1986 i think it is came out with a cat converter, and if u are found driving a car with no cat in it, the fine can be up to 10 000 dollars... its so bad, but so many people run the risk, i have taken mine out of the starlet because mine runs on race gas (leaded fuel) at the track, and leaded fuel just kills cats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
