Remap and MOT

[caister]

As title my car is due for its MOT soon and was just wondering if it should pass the MOT emmissions test with a remap??

 

[franx]

mine had trouble with a sport-cat.. had to mount the OEM cat and this was still close call

 

[caister]

How strict are hollands emissions tests comparred to the UK's though?

Remap shouldnt affect it tbh. Wouldnt worry, can't speak from experience then.

 

[franx]

why should'nt a remap affect it?

When for example having a remap done to suit the car which is modded to have a larger airintake+ larger decat exhaust ; it will (also when putting cat back on) have a higher co output than the listed factory/ or allowed listing ?

How strict are hollands emissions tests comparred to the UK's though?

I was allowed to have 0,6 i believe

Shouldn't affect it if the cat's still in place. Many people on here have had remaps, if it was causing MOT issues we would of heard. Decat's a completely different issue.

could run a fuel system cleaner thought it just in case. i used to put one through my 172 every 10k

I run optimax so i think its got enough addatives in it without adding more!! I'm sure it'll be fine I'm still young and havn't owned a car that just passes the MOT!! This is my first one with the clio.

Made no difference at all went through no problems. Max limit on idle is 0.3% CO car got 0% max limit on fast idle is 0.2 and the car got 0.01!! So its all good

What exhaust have you got Caister?

 

[caister]

K-Tec Stealth with stock cat. Though I have a sports cat in the garage I just need to get round to fitting it

 

[Tigger]

Nice one, have you got the K-Tec sports cat then?

 

[caister]

Ive got the janspeed one. I managed to get it for £102 though!!

 

[Tigger]

Not bad at all, I'm planning on getting the K-Tec recessed exhaust in the new year, already have a K-Tec sport cat to go on with it (same as Janspeed IIRC)
Ins, Tax and Cam belts on the top of the list first though lol

Just thinking, will mine pass MOT with the above mods as well?

 

[caister]

Should pass I think I was just being paranoid as my previous car always failed on emissions!!

Did you notice much of a difference with the sports cat?

 

[kully]

should have no problems , mine went through ok with all mentioned above and more mods .

Not fitted it, will probably leave it until I get the exhaust
