snoged Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 emissions over by 0.01 on the 2nd fast idle test = not amused ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Annoying I'd bet. What's the set up though? standard or running HFC's/De-cats? Could have been they just needed warming up more first if the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 completely standard no mods Hhmm. Could this be a sign the Cats are on their way out I wonder?! Or again could it just be they needed warming up more before the test?! Did you take it for a long drive before the test or was it tested after just sitting there cold for awhile?

snoged Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 a bit of info had the car a year last month just after i bought it i was given a company car but after a few weeks driving the Zed i was not going to be selling so i have only done 3500 miles in that time and for the last 2 weeks has not moved started up last weekend just to keep the battery charged and then sat for a week before a 25min drive for the MOT so after the fail today i did phone Mark at Abbey and he suggested i took it in for a check because as you rightly point out it needs to have them cats warmed up (which i bet the mot station didnt do) ( just thought i would post on here to gain a bit of knowledge and advice) especially as the fist thing the guy said to me was " what a lovely looking car"(which i kind of took as "i aint seen one of them before" )! oh dear so i think the best thing i can do is let the proper folk have a look and at the worst way a new sensor is around £180 Mark says next time ill take it to someone who knows the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 That's bad..0.01 out, as said rag it around the block a few times get it nice and hot, or take it where they know what they are doing with a Zed. So annoying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
