What fuel are you using? Shell v-power is the best to fill up with before the MOT.
Failing that get some Redex fuel treatment to give the engine a good clean.
When was the last service? May find that the air filter and dirty plugs are adding to the problem
What year is the car, might be ready for a new CAT.
Was it tested as a 1.1 or a 1.4? Your max permitted of 0.30 and 200 are the same as my 1.4. Couldn't say what a 1.1 allows.
What else did it fail on to need a retest in the first place?
#8: Re: help needed realy bad for mot Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 2:59 am ---- My old one did this to me before, ended up buying a new cat but was still out, so then got some redex which kind of sorted the problem so tried taking it for a lang drive out before mot which got it to fly through!
Not all places give the car enough time to warm up so it can be out, give redex a try first then rag it

#10: Re: help needed realy bad for mot Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 4:04 am ---- I left my car at the garage all day for the MOT, so not sure if it's still the probe up the tailpipe or if it is all measured electronically.
I suppose in theory the engine should be running leaner with a 1.1 ecu fitted, although the computer could be confused as it is needing more fuel to fill the cylinder. I don't suppose you will know if the car feels underpowered or not.
#11: Re: help needed realy bad for mot Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 4:15 am ---- What else wasnt changed other than the ecu?
what cat does it have on it at the moment, sensors etc
#12: Re: help needed realy bad for mot Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 5:46 am ---- looks like you got an air leak.
your o2 reading is quite high.
#13: Re: help needed realy bad for mot Author: jamie1212, Location: barnsleyPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 6:10 am ---- the car has 1.4 engine with 1.1 ecu and injectors exhaust thats all i know and car feels under powerd ?
