glrnet Posted January 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350 Russ Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 make sure the car is hot before the retest, it might also be worth buying a new air filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Got a pop charger on it and trust me it was hot haha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted January 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share 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 ?

Mopedmark Posted January 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
