MOT Fail - Emissions - Probably Cats
Hi There,
4.2 V8 Petrol ~162,000M
Just had an MOT.....Failed Emissions on CO on Idle, 2nd fast Idle, Fast idle and HC/Lamda on the fast Idle.
The Co points to the cats. I've had the Check Engine lights on for quite a while on both banks which I thought was odd (16814 & 16804)....I did try a few cleaners when I got the car, but since it's passed the two years previous MOTs I haven't been worried.
I've got some toluene so I may give that a go and see if it gets better, but I'm guessing it's a pair of new cats ???
Any help, pointers etc
Lee
