andlid Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 So far this has not been a good one NCT the Z @ 20:20 today with my new nice quaife diff installed, told the tester NOT to test in on the rollers and his answer was that it's ok to test the car on the rollers.... Told him that his manual states NO so he's no allowed! Can't belive that... anyhow. After the test... FAIL! Somehow the parking lights all around wasn't working, guessing I busted a fuse or something. WORST is that my emission is so far out it pulled 5 people around the machine when they tested it Not sure how to get that down either... have a feeling the cats where not hot enough for the test but not sure. At idle it was fine but @ 2475rpm as he did the testing it was out.. think it can be 200ppm and I had 320ppm So the Z needs to go back for a retest after I figure out how to get her through, any ideas? Left to do: Volvo S60 T5 2002 > Tomorrow @ 20:40 Toyata Altezza 2000 > Friday @ 20:40 <<< time. Quote
Neilp Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 u really have no luck dude.... get a better tester and bump him 50 quid. would running an octane booster not improve fuel efficiency? Maybe its down to your remap you have. Quote
andlid Posted November 17, 2010 Author Posted November 17, 2010 been told that I can turn down the fueling and should be fine then... :-) Quote
andlid Posted November 18, 2010 Author Posted November 18, 2010 VOLVO failed too... on a bloody bulb sitting upside down! At least the tune on that one wasn't running rich :-) I did heat up the car prior to entering the center and left it on idle outside.... Quote
andlid Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 Altezza did not pass either. Two front tyres needed and tracking. Also I should be shot for being a mupp not able to put a light in properly Quote
Stew Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 fricken brilliant week for you then Anders! Quote
andlid Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 It's all half a scam anyway... 50 for test and 28 for retest.... not sure what to do first. Quote
Husky Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 fail anders, just fail did you not do half of the checks yourself first?? Quote
andlid Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 fail anders, just fail did you not do half of the checks yourself first?? To be honest the bulbs are not making sense to me, didnt really have time to do a full test through them myself so decided to roll them in and see what they'd get stuck on and fix only that to get them through the test, a bit worried about the Z emission to be honest... I flipped the bulbs around (on both cars) and to me it looks the same so time iwll tell if they're pulling a fast one! Volvo changing lights is mega fail anyway... very hard to get at it. Quote

andlid Posted November 28, 2010 Author Posted November 28, 2010 Great news, Nissan passed... and Volvo passed... new tyres for Altezza in the depot so after they're fitted I'll get going booking that one in too! Nice emission's on the Z now Quote
