Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Right ok so cars failed it's mot on emissions... Can anyone help with idea everything else is fine on emissions apart from the c02 I'm running berk high flow cats never had a problem before could it be that the cats are defo gone or ? Anyone got any ideas? Quote
glrnet Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Fixed the title for you How many miles have the HFC's done? Can you not put the original cats back on for the retest? Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Haha tnx also cause mines got the headlight washers but iv got a different bumper he wants me to remove the switch to pass it cause the switch for it is there but it won't work!! Wth!! Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Umm about 10k top... Don't have the standards unfortunately bought the high flow as the std were on way out! Haha Quote
350 Russ Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 make sure the car is hot before the retest, it might also be worth buying a new air filter. Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Got a pop charger on it and trust me it was hot haha!! Quote
GMballistic Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 ^^ What Russ said ~ you really need to take the car for a good drive before the test so that the CAT's are nice and hot. Make's a lot of difference to how efficiently they work. Quote
GMballistic Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Got a pop charger on it and trust me it was hot haha!! Ignore my post then. Wouldn't have thought the Berks HFC's where shot though after only 10K miles odd. Don't know?!. Lot's of people have these and pass the MOT fine from what I hear. Haven't had my MOT yet with my Berk's on. Quote
370Ad Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 He is obviously being picky...personally I would find another station. Where you based?! HFC's do seem to have this issue sometimes. Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Yer I defo gave it a thrash trust me!! Haha was hard work in this weather we got a thermal laser on it the temp before the car was about 198-200 degrees after was about 145-155 degrees unsure if it's ****ed or not... Do high flow cats normally have a problem with not passes? They were on when I bought the car... Is a high flow cat Basically a 200cell sports cat or ? Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 He is obviously being picky...personally I would find another station. Where you based?! HFC's do seem to have this issue sometimes. Yer I might just have to unfortunately the guy I took it too was a supposed friend Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Unsure if I take it anywhere else it will cause a problem or ... Quote
Mopedmark Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 If he's being that smart being a So called friend be a little smart back tape over the switch because he is Not allowed to remove the tape Ha Ha if he says all you've done is tape over just say how can you say that when your not allowed to remove the tape Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 True good idea! I like that Any idea how I'm going to get round this emissions bit? I need to find a friendly not station Quote
Level 7 Boss Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 We can swap my standard cats for your HFC and you'll get a pass lol. Quote
GMballistic Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 We can swap my standard cats for your HFC and you'll get a pass lol. But will he ever get his HFC's back off you?! Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Haha deal if I can swap back in about 2 hours after Quote
370Ad Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Where you based bud? Yes lots of posts on here about HFC's failing. Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 my bumper washers are disconnected but the switch is still there and it passed the other day, oh and my emissions were fine even with the decats Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Haha nice! How did u manage that! Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I normally run a few fills of Cat cleaner from HalfFrauds before the MOT, Quote
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Might try that next time good idea but unsure what to do ATM? Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Haha nice! How did u manage that! Friendly tester Quote
