Basically my UK MY96 has failed it's emmissions test on the MOT. Standard exhaust btw (and HOT cats). Passed fine before the Link was installed by Bob Rawle who I have every faith in. This leads me into wondering whether my cats are in full working order or maybe the Link needs re-jigging. I shall email Bob for any suggestions on his part.
A Link tuner with emmissions testing equipment should be able to pinpoint the problem.
Can anyone recommend someone 'in the know' ??

Cheers
Neil.

ps. I did post this in 'Drivetrain' yesterday with no response and I need to get this sorted ASAP !

Perhaps its running rich on the Link...not actually heard of this before so perhaps pop it to Bob and Branko and ask them to see if its all in working order (the Link) It will probably be!

Call em and ave' a chat. Hopefully your MOT station is friendly to give you a free re-test although that may not be the case as the car has been removed from the premises...

Subverbal,

What does your Lambda link show at idle, and fast idle?. The Cat needs a mixture somewhere near Stoich to work (I think).

What did the car fail on - excess CO? NOx? by how much?

Cheers,

Alex
