CarlT67 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 So whats the deal, and what are your experiences with Singles and MOT emmisions testing, will it pass no cats, do I need to put a second cat in (if so anyone got one locally I can burrow ) or what. Any help appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Another single that passed its emitions test first time. Its down to the age of the car. mines a 94 and the chassis number for the 94 is not on the MOT database so they can put it through as a standard non cat car. Passes fine that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Any single should always have perfect emissions.. Its not like they run rich is it?? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Cheers chaps I think I'll risk it then, Another single that passed its emitions test first time. Its down to the age of the car. mines a 94 and the chassis number for the 94 is not on the MOT database so they can put it through as a standard non cat car. Passes fine that way Mine is also a 94 so should be all good then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 A modern, well maintained engine should never fail an emissions test. A Soarer I once had pissed it with a no cat exhaust system and a smoking turbo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Being an ex MOT tester even on my J spec aerotop we could find the engine code straight away, you need a tester who is not too good for looking for the codes, I do not think you can rock up anywhere and pass in a single car with no cats at a staion where you do not know them. The stations operate on a points system, everytime they do something wrong/miss something the ministry allocate points, get to a certain amount and the MOT license is taken away from them, the ministry do a lot of 'undercover' tests now so stations are very wary !!!!!

Matt H Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Any single should always have perfect emissions.. Its not like they run rich is it?? lol If there's no CAT's in, then there's nothing to convert all the harmful particles thaat comes out of the engine before they come out of the pipe. It's not about being single turbo, it's about not having CAT's. If you can get through the test on a technicality like others a few others can, then great, but if not, you'll have to put a CAT back in for the test.
