Hi Guys,
Went for my MOT last night, it Passed, not without having to test and retest the emissions! I was constantly asked if I was sure there was a Cat there!
Anyone else had this issue?
Regards,
Tom

Cat back non res Milltek on mine & it went straight through. :smiley: :happy2:
-
Sorry forgot to mention, mine is a Turbo Back Non Res Milly :)
-
Ive got a turbo back non res Milly and mine went through no problems at the dealers! :happy2:
-
They said my emmissions were REALLY low?!

Shame they wont lower you tax band though hey!

ive got my first MOT in march, was planning on just switching the SPS back to stock hopefully should pass! better ask some blueflame guys as its the 100 cell cat :scared:
-
Mine's a Milly TBE Non-Res and has been through 2 MOT's successfully and also has been emissions tested at Milltek's factory.
I know that Milltek take great care that their road-use systems pass MOT/emissions tests. Of course if you alter it, it isn't their responsibility.

Dont know how much warming the Cat up helps but I had to sit there for a couple of minutes to get the car to pass...
-
The car should be tested at normal operating temp of the car, not from cold.

Have you checked your Catalyst?
If you don't already know, stick her up in the air and bang her box with the side of your fist - You shouldn't hear any rattling which would indicate melting and ongoing deterioration leading to failure.

Hmm...I'll have a look into it!
Cheers...

I'm not saying that your emissions question and the state of your Catalyst are directly related - I don't know enough of the technicalities - but it's worth periodically checking (punching) your Cat box anyway, especially on a tuned car which can run things hotter.
Kick the cat! Meeeeeooooow! :evilgrin:

my emissions are pretty high with the milly on.. well higher than normal for a 3.2 V6, but i would guess i would get through an mot, my previous R32 did :smiley:
-
Didn't know you were into fisting RR. Then again I should have guessed!

....Ugh! :sick: Not one of my preferences :sick:
Probably healthier than offering sweeties to jailbait though :evilgrin:

Should the cat be in said box or not?
