emissions

My 1.9TDI FR 150 failed its MoT today. Looking at the paperwork, it was a fail on 'Plated Value', coming in at 0.84m-1 with a max permitted of 0.70m-1. I've got the car booked in to be looked at on Wednesday, but in the meantime I've had a few different bits of advice - from having the engine...

Hi there, I've been having problems with a high idle when the engine is warm on my 07 Leon FR tfsi. I replaced the front PCV valve with a revised OEM one last year, there seems to be some subtle hissing coming from it, although I can't tell where. Checked the seals on the pipes and back plate...

I had this on Sunday night, .. Would not go over 2000 Revs. Took it straight to Qwick Fit on monday, and the problem was PART NO: COIL3003. Single Plug End Coil ?? Apparently this is not covered in the Warrenty. I only bought the car last week from a garage in Sunderland. Any ideas of...

Hi guys i own a 02 cupra 1.8 20vt, and the above mentioned light has come on.. my owners book says it means excessive emissions. Could this cause damage to the engine? is it safe to drive -- as its still driving perfect.

Hi, does anybody know what the specified CO and HC emissions values are for a 1.4 engine are in order to pass an mot. I have a gas analyzer, just need to check suspect cat in good time before test. Cheers, Jon

I recently purchased a Seat Arosa 1.0 S, and passed my test on monday. The same day unfortunately it started chugging, and had an intermitant loss of acceleration. I had a mate come round with a diagnostics machine and found the error to be in the ignition side, sensors or something. He erased...

Basically my query is... Is there actually any product I can buy, or anything I can generally do that will reduce the emissions of my car??? (temporarily at least) The reason for this is that about a year ago I had trouble passing the emissions test for the MOT, and just scraped through...

Could fitting an interior LEDs cause the emissions warning light to come on? Hi all, Just a thought - a couple of weeks back I fitted an LED in the centre interior light (in the middle of the two map lights). I fitted it, tested it and left it at that - without starting the engine. The...

Right, just had a call from the garage doing the MOT today - first point is it's not going to get through with the HID's, so looks like they'll have to be swapped for standard's to get through. More worryingly, it's also failed the emissions test - he asked if it had been chipped and said...

My emissions light came on yesterday (little yellow engine shaped fella) dropped it into the garage today and have been told that the software has been upgraded and it's something to do with the DPF. Anyone know what it's to do with the DPF and why this software upgrade was not applied last...
