Title: Exhaust Gas Test .... How much ?
Post by: Proz on 17 March 2009, 19:39:23
How much would it cost to have this done ... i have no idea and all garages are now closed ...... to see what the emissions are and what the lambda's are reading ..... getting angry with P0420 and want it fixing  :y

Not much, no than 20 pounds max, I'm still having the same p0420 problems as you, MOT 2.30pm tomorrow so I will wait and see, I paid around 10 pounds I think to get the emissions checked a few months ago, reading was okay then and I've put on new lambda's since so hopefully all will be well, just need to reset the light before it goes in, and then pace up and down for 30 mins to see it is passes.

So the new O2 sensors didn't work for you ??  Your still getting the code after fitting them .... i was going to change mine too but maybe not now  :-/

Yup, fitted 2 new sensors and made no difference, along with the a new genuine MAF so as it is now, if it passes the MOT hopefully, I don't have clue what to do about the emissions light now, it's a wee bit annoying.  >:(

oh..........and I've been using Shell V-Power over the last few weeks and no difference.

I've been trying to work out any when it comes on, at the moment if it reset it, it does comes back on after I've drove the car 3 times..reset..3 times then back on..reset, been like this for the last week, only noticed it as been off on holiday and been using the car a wee bit more than normal, 1800 miles since last Wednesday and 30MPG

Could be coming on after the ecu does it monitoring checks on some systems only on startup on every 3 occasion, read something similar before not sure where though  :-/
