MOT Fail on emissions
« on: 09 July 2020, 15:26 »
Hi
My stage 2 Revo has failed on emissions :cry: I am at a loss to know why, as it has passed the last 3 times.
I think it measured 0.9 Co. Is that anywhere near the pass, or way over? Will I have to go back to REVO to
have it adjusted. Thanks in advance :smiley:

Have you been using your car much in lock down?  Maybe give it an Italian tune before you go in and make sure the cats have warmed up nicely?

I will give it a italian tune before I take it in. I have also put in some wynns emission additive which I hope will work.

Hi Tornado8
Max is 0.3. Which downpipe are you running? Perhaps the CAT efficiency has deteriorated - what were the previous 3 MOT CO results and had the results got worse over the 3 years?

Hi
The downpipe is a 100 Cel from BCS. I've had it for about 4 years

Have you spoken with Nigel at BCS Tornado8? I think 4 usage from a 100 cell race cat is good going but there are many factors involved. What was the CO result last year?

The Co was 0.3 last year. Do your idle revs stay even? as mine seem to hunt . I'm going to give her  a
proper run :whistle: before I take it in and, hopefully she will pass. By the way the mileage is 83000.
