hi all
anyone know if a cat is required on a 91 reg turbo
for mot
cheers richie

 

Doubt it, pretty sure it was sometime in 92 cats became mandatory (August IIRC).

 

I thought it was June 94?

 

August/September 92 onwards. Anything before does not require a cat.

 

You shouldnt need a CAT. Before my Scoob I had a MR2 Turbo on a 93-K Plate that was de-catted and when I asked they told me I didnt have to put it back on due to the age of the car.

Hope this helps!

 

cheers all wasnt sure if the law said if it was fitted as oe
then had to stay

I don't believe the law states "You must have a catylitic converter".

However, you must pass the required emission standards for the year of the car!! (This can be difficult if you have removed the cat(s) )

I believe the emissions standards let you get away with a lot more for a 1991 car than a 1992 car... (or was it 1993? I can't remember!)

 

Rich,

I have a K plate Leggy.

I have a full decat and it does not require a cat.

The chap I go to did 'look it up in his MOT book', but as the car was not specifially referred to, it was classed as not requiring a 'cat MOT'....

I knew when I bought it it wouldn't need one and was suprised when he advised me it did....... but after looking in his books... I was right...

I'm happy!!

I had a look around a while back and I think you have to have a cat on UK cars after Aug/Sept 92 or imports after Aug/Sept 94. It's not just so your car can pass the emissions, you have to have a cat fitted.
