Mot Failure

[Guest K252FVW]

Took the car for an MOT and it failed on emissions, 1.13 at 2250 rpms where the allowable range is 0.98-1.03 (IIRC) the tester, who has tested this and other cars for me and the 'families' cars for a number of years, believed it could be down to the "slight blow for the manifold/downpipe gasket".

 

I have today run a diagnostic on it and it has brought up two codes, Code 25, which I believe to be the same problem as was had here as I have all those symptoms and also Code 52 Mixture Regulation, which I cannot find any reference to having search the site.

 

I have oreder from my local dealer a gasket fitting kit which is back ordered to early Jan and am waiting until then to see it this is the fix.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

have you changed the oil/ plugs? dc the oil breather and run a catch tank coke bottle??

Changed the exhaust manifold to downpipe gasket and associated hardware which has solved the emissions problems, no more code 52 and a MOT pass certificate.
