merckx Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Not cheap! 89465-19725 ..... £134.26 including VAT without any discount It's a lot of money to pay out if it's not the oxygen sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffvalenti Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Have a word with CW, I'm sure he sells pattern parts for half the Toyota price. What about the place where you got your engine, they may still have the lambda sensor from Robs old car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sly Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 hi the limit for a cat test on a 1994/5 on car is 0.200 c.o so i am guessing that your print out should show this? not 0.30 as you have shown? there are some ways around the prob as the engine speed is not able to be tested so if you M.O.T tester is a normal bloke and not an asshole he can test the car on tickover, this can get the emissions down to a pass {sometimes} or he can run the car well over th 3k max to bring the temp right up to stabilise the second cat then all should be fine?

Timwildman Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 My old car, now IVAN's passed with the front cat out, and he had the front cat off me when he took the car. It might be worth a pm to see if he still has it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sly but this car is a '98 VVTi. My printout definetly says 0.30. He told me to hold the car at about 3000rpm for the test. We did hold the car at 3000rpm for a couple of mins immediately before the test to get the cat good and hot but it still didn't pass.

Jake Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Jake i happen to know a friendly MOT tester! That's a coincidence! I was just thinking about you today mate.

nickyboy Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Jake, My offer definitely falls into the category of less than ideal as I'm a little way from you but in case you don't sort this out another way the offer's there anyway... Am planning to decat in the near future but could speed things up a bit and book in at Phoneix, Watford (if they're free) week after next as working in Watford for a couple days that week. If you cannot solve your problem another way my car would be there all day and you could nip up there, borrow the 1st cat and get your MOT done there.

Jake Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 Cheers Nick, borrowing a VVTi front cat would surely solve my problem. If I can't get it sorted out more easily I'll give you a shout mate. Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
