3.2 Elite
« on: 27 February 2010, 20:47:06 »
Who is the nearest Tech2 to me.
My EML is on, came on this morning and I wanna sort it out once and for all.
So if I have a fair journey then that is what it will have to be.
TIA

The fault / cause itself, will need to be rectified. There is obviously an underlying cause - therefore you can put the tech2 on it and clear the faults till the cows come home, but it won't stop the EML from coming on!

I suspect it's probably the famous 3.2 Precat issues...

Yep, that is a known workaround - it basically involves fitting blanking bolts to the existing pre-cat sensor holes, and then welding a lambda boss further back....  :y

So what do I need to do.
Shall I get an emissions Test done and report back or what?
I am totally clueless here.
As usual

Dunno if we done this test correctly, as never done it afore.
The numbers I came up with were
9388
But could have been 0388
But they flash a little too fast for me.
So dunno if this is correct.

Didnt it get one done for the MOT?

When I had my last MOT done they gave an emissions printout stating facts and figures......?
