Car emissions compliance
I'm bit confused .
Mines euro 3 , and now we are up to euro 6 . does this , inevitably , mean that however clean its running sooner or later it just wont go through mot ? :wonder: |
They dont change the rules for older cars i dont think do they? there set at the time of manufacture.

Guys doing my droplink , say this is just way getting older cars off the road
not a Subaru by the way. apparently the japs know how to make cars that run low emissions however |

Euro emissions aren't really related to the MOT limits be it smoke opacity test limits (for diesel), or HC/CO/Lambda for petrol. The limits are set independently, and for petrol the limits are specific to each model of vehicle.
Yes, new cars have stricter tests, or less strict in the case of direct injection petrol (yes FSi engines have less strict emissions test limits...mad or what? LOL :lol1 ). But as of current you cannot test a car to a limits or standard that it wasn't made to conform to. What could happen is if more of these Low emission zones start springing up outside of London and they started applying them to cars as well as HGVs |

So this waffle hes come up with
"Car hardly only just made it through test last year , cars 14 y/o euro 3 , and now were up to euro 6" is a certain amount of bollocks its apparently a very unclean engine 2l 16v citroen xsara vts 2002 |
The emmision limit will always be the same for that year of vehicle its just like pre 92 cars dont need a cat and never will. Its only cars of that year that have to pass tougher tests.
