tommykite Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 HI Folks My 96 Glanza just sailed through everything on its MOT apart from emissions. I have not has this problem before and the car has been running its current set up for about 2 years. I have most of a stage one set up including blitz exaust and decat, Front mount inter cooler, induction kit, adjustable hks actuator. Whats the first or easyest way to get my emissions down? Any help would be much apreciated, I have 10 days! eek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 take it else where my tdo4 always had a "" real emissions test" hehehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommykite Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 I will do that as a final resort but is there nothing else I could do that might get it through the free retest? I have just been reading an Oil change, new plugs an filter combind with a hard drive before a test can help to bring down emissions!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-dog Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 First thing to do is fit a cat back on it or it will never go through or just take it to a friendly tester Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 ^^^^^^ this standard cat back on or friendly tester. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommykite Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 He said it failed on Co2, I thought the standard cat cut down on other toxin not Co2. Balls that will be wank to do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tommykite Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Ok thanks guys I will put it back on to get ti through Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 If it still fails with the cat on then ask for a print out of the emissions test, post it on here and we'll help diagnose the fault. Simple things like blocked air filter, leaky exhaust etc can all throw emissions out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just give it a vac leak on the manifold. That will bring the co down a bit. Not the right way to do it but it does work lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
