Well the car went back after a 'very spirited' 30 mile drive. Re-test and still failed.
The Tester wouldnt "rev the nuts out of it" as its 'not policy' but suggested a more mechanically sympathetic organisation might be a better bet. :-(:( Anything obvious I should (with my limited skill set) look at? I do have VCDS lite.:rolleyes: |
Befriend a dodgy MOT tester, preferably one that does all the taxi drivers where you live ;)

I have spoken to a 'sympathetic' MOT tester today who has managed to fit me in for Monday at the earliest. |
My MoT guys gently let off the throttle after the fast idle test to allow everything to stabilise gently. They take it from ~2500-3000 rpm back to idle over about 5-10 seconds rather than just taking the foot straight off. That allows the closed-loop control to sort everything out by the time the machine takes its reading. If you just close the throttle and hit the test button the mixture can still be a bit rich and cause this sort of problem, on older cats.

He had to adjust the main beam. Passed with zero advisories. +++ |
Great news +++
My MOT tester told me his rule of thumb is whether the car is likely to kill you or somebody else, if not then it passes. |
