#13: Re: failing an MOT on emissions now what ? :( Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 3:00 am ---- did they check the O2 sensor at all?
#14: Re: failing an MOT on emissions now what ? :( Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:35 am ---- Yes, it's likely your lambda/o2 sensor is shafted ... was it disturbed when you had the new exhaust fitted?
Our 206CC 2.0 has two ... one pre-cat, one post-cat ... but until I get PP working I can't tell which is screwed .. one is, the code reader I have tells me!
