#1: 206 SW HDi - DeCat Author: skyking_comms, Location: EnglandPosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:16 am ---- Hi,
Earlier this year I got my cat removed from my 206 SW 2.0 Hdi, as advised by people on this forum. (Where it connected to exhaust had broke)
The car will have its MoT in January. I was wondering whether there have been any changes to the MoT which prevent the Cat being removed from diesels? I dont want my car failing and then having to purchase a Cat.
Thanks,
Darren

i can see this changing maybe in a few years

The exhaust emits dense blue or clearly visible black smoke for a period of 5 seconds at idle.
The exhaust emits dense blue or clearly visible black smoke during acceleration which would obscure the view of other road users.
Note: The criterion is density and not volume of smoke. The description ‘dense smoke’ includes smoke or vapour which largely obscures vision.
Older vehicles, particularly pre-1960, sometimes emit unavoidable smoke due to their design. Such smoke is not a Reason for Rejection.
The emissions cannot be measured because a tailpipe accessory is fitted or a deliberate modification has been made which prevents insertion of the smoke meter probe.
After 6 free accelerations, the mean of the last 3 smoke levels is:
a.for vehicles first used on or after 1 July 2008, more than 1.5m-1 for both turbocharged and non-turbocharged engines
b.for vehicles first used before 1 July 2008:
for a non-turbocharged engine, more than 2.50m-1
for turbocharged engines more than 3.00m-1.
Exhaust emits excessive smoke or vapour of any colour to an extent likely to obscure the vision of other road users.
Note: The criterion is density and not volume of smoke. The description ‘dense smoke’ includes smoke or vapour which largely obscures vision.

#9: Re: 206 SW HDi - DeCat Author: HDI90, Location: sunny stokePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:00 am ---- No it still wont fail, i spoke to a family member a few months back who is a tester and and it only applys to petrols
diesels still do not need the cat
