Hi

Does anyone know somewhere, or someone I can take my car to for an Exhaust leak test? Something that does not involve some numpty looking at it and saying "nah mate, just a loud car innit."

I'm in Hemel, Hertfordshire. My car is failing on emissions, and having tried/replaced everything else, I think the exhaust may be to blame.

So I am hoping someone can get it up on a ramp and actually do some sort of physical test. I suspect the hole we are looking for is pin size!

thanks in advance.

Based on last years figures, it's high CO. But cannot remember the exact figure. Not much higher 0.3-0.5 area.

ETA - Found the figures:

Test One:

fast Idle test Limit Actual Value

CO =<0.2% 0.51%
HC =<200ppm 38ppm
Weird symbol 0.97-1.03 1.004

Test Two:

fast Idle test Limit Actual Value

CO =<0.2% 0.41%
HC =<200ppm 22ppm
Weird symbol 0.97-1.03 1.002

Natural Idle Test

CO =<0.3 0.12%
