Right my car has failed the mot on exhaust emissions can anyone tell me a way to turn them down please? cheers, Grant

 

and the car in question is a... ?????

or more importantly powered by what engine

 

adjustable on the top of the meterhead, for mot it shud be about 3% i think, i set mine to 3.5

you cant just do it, its gotta be done on a tester

 

Thanks mate i take it this is the allen key screw???

 

Sorry is this not the ESCORT RS TURBO ROOM

 

Sorry but do people not run OFAB, Gotech, Cossie, Megasquirt or different management systems on their RS Turbos on this forum

As I expect you are aware having a ZVH in your signature many FWD Escorts on this forum are not standard

Is it not better to clarify things rather than provide incorrect advice or to make assumptions

 

Well I presume it isn't an efi.

 

Lol no worries its still on mfi anyway

 

had a problem gttn my scooby thro it mot fail on emmisions also,

check if you exhaust has any leaks at the joints ect

take the car for a blast on a (privite road) and kick its hole,

also you can get carb/injection cleaner from stores like halfords, spray that into th inlet,

i did all off the above and the scooby passed its emisions,

 

that wont work on an rs turbo, that will be for cars fitted with cats to get them hot.

pull dipstick slightly out when emmisions are being done this will bring it down to pass

 

WTF seriously??? How do you know that?

 

this wil lose exssess gas thro th dipstick,dont htink this wil work tho,and the carb clean cleans the injection system not th cat,

 

take the car for a blast on a (privite road) and kick its hole,

i wasnt on about the cleaner, the bit about taking it for a blast, ive done this lots of times to get through emissions on newer cars.

if you make a small air leak the emissions will come down, too much the car will stall

dipstick was just an example you could use breathers, oil cap etc.... saves you messing about with the co adjuster without the correct equipment.

 

Well i turned the emissions down and pulled the dipstick out a bit for good measure and it passed WOO
