Akumanozetto Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 So my Z has just had the mot but despite having several attempts, it still failed the emission test The HFC was new and only fitted for a few months. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on passing the mot? i am from the sussex area. Thanks Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Did you get them really hot before arriving for the test? The hotter they are, the better they work / more efficient they are. Go for a spirited drive before you arrive for the test. 1 Quote
davey_83 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Problem is the emission test it the last part of the MOT, ie they'll prob cool down by this time. 1 Quote

Anyway, i will give it another go later, luckily, i still have one month mot left. If it is not working, i would put my oem cats back. thanks for the tips Quote

ilogikal1 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Does the new fail now supersede any previous pass? Quote

Even the car failed today's mot, i still have roughly a month to get it done. The reason i am having the mot in advance is becoz i am trying to sell my car . Luckily apart from the emission problem, no advisory or other failure. Quote
