Well, a certain corsa has failed MOT for emissions.
Its had new...lambda sensor, CAT, sparkplugs, airfilter isn't dirty, had some de-coke stuff (a tablet that drops into the fuel tank, that makes lots of smoke come out the exhaust).
WTF else could make high emissions?
thanks.

i had a simlar problem when i had to mot my old 1.6sport that had a new CAT a few months before. I got told to take it for a good blast before taking it for the mot try ad get the CAT as hot as you can
does it have standard backbox?

yeah the CAT is 5-6months I think.
It has a powertec metal filter, took the filter off and emissions went down a bit but not enough.
emissions were 0.6 supposed to be 0.2 or 0.3 I think.
