...Or find a dodgy mot centre who will pass the emissions for an extra 20, because there are plenty about!

Anyone know of any of these..... Not that I'm having the same kind of problem, getting desperate and looking for one, of course....

Due to the potential consequences to the garages that do this, it is naturally something that tends to be available only to customers they know well, and is NEVER advertised.

And who would admit (even on an internet forum) to knowing one or using one to get a dodgy pass?

tempreture sensor maybe?


That's fair comment ! Sorry, I hadn't thought of it like that - was having a particularly stressful day ! I had to leave the car at home, and WALK!!!

Does anyone know anything about Peugeot 106's with high emmissions ?? Mines a 1.6 8v with 130k on it. No spring chicken I know ! The CO2 is coming in at about 3% and the HC's are up at about 250-300 !!!

It's had a new MAP sensor, new Lambda sensor, new plugs, new oil, all kinds of treatments to the fuel, oil, and bores, I've done all the valve clearances, and there's now a new cat on the way as a last resort !

The rest of the car is fine, it just keeps failing the emmissions !

Help !!!

Maybe they are not rying too hard to get it through the test.

Do you mean like finding it has an air-leak on the throttle-body to inlet manifold connector which would cause it to run lean and seem better on the HC measurements?

Early cat cars usually strangle pass mot . I.m a mot tester and we have get them very hot at high revs . Bit pointless as normal town driving cats not doing anything anyway .as said before we can pass them pre 96 if after the long test been done using manufacturer's figures still fail we can use non cat test . Please note performance boys out there you can not remove cats after 96 it will not pass unless you want play the game cat on mot cat off after
