Failed MOT :(

[Derelict-UK]

on emissions

should be 0.3%

mine is 11%!!

he has looked over it and can't find what it is,

any ideas?

cats fucked then ?

 

[Derelict-UK]

was changed last year!

Was the car warm before it was tested?

Should give it a good boot around the block to make sure the cats hot.

Not sure if it would get the emmissions down that much though.

Passed on the f**ked clutch though?

he tested it after getting back from a test centre.

Booked it into Renault, prepared to go into debt

Renault lol always a last painful kick in the bollox resort

you know it, but they can find out what it is and if it fails again on emissions, after they 'fix' it, they have to get it sorted!

not looking forward to the bill though!

Surely a decent garage can plug it in and find out what it is rather than letting Renault rape you?

DNBA wernt very helpfull where they lmao.

 

[Russ_16v]

was it genuine or cheap cat? We always have cars failing due to cheap aftermarket cats

 

[sideways danny]

11% is FARKING high, there's more than a cat at fault there

Well to be quite honest, if you ask any question on DNBA you won't get many useful answers!!

Renault had a 'special offer' of a diagnostics check for £19.99 instead of their usual £90.00!!

could be the cheap Cat, I know it had to be replace to get through the MOT before I bought it, so they probably changed it with the cheapest one going. and the help of both O2 sensors needing to be changed later on, like people say, if it was over fueling, it was probably harming it too.

Hopefully when its all sorted, I will have a sound car. Everything else is as good as new so in the long run it will be worth it!
