Just had an M.O.T which it passed, just curious about the emissions, it said mine was @ fast idle speed 0.011% and at low idle 0.012% what do these equate to in say... co2 per mile?

and the lambda was 1.018

I wonder if there is a chart showing these type of emissions relating to the car I drive.

CO₂ per mile and the MOT emissions test are completely different things. For a start, CO₂ is not one of the gases tested at MOT time because it's not a pollutant, despite what some sandal-wearing types might argue.

At MOT emissions time they are testing the percentages of various pollutants present in the exhaust gases. They have no way of knowing the total volume of exhaust gas that will be generated when driving a mile, and therefore the amount of pollutants per mile. A Smart and a Bentley Turbo R could generate exactly the same MOT emissions results but measure what comes out over a mile of driving and it will be totally different!

You will see limits on the printout of the test results. These would have been generated by the MOT computer system as being the limits specific to your car based on its' age or, in some cases, a manufacturer's declaration.

If you want to know how much CO2 per mile your car is producing, simply find the stats for a recent car with the same mpg.

I see, I was just interested to see how polluting my car was. It's the Omega 3.0 MV6 AUTO, X reg.

I was going to purchase one of those bumper stickers off eBay 'my carbon footprint is bigger than yours' lol.

some good reading on the reviews there, 'a wolf in sheeps clothing' lol.

I do find some of their data somewhat amusing ......



I don't see how fitting leather seats to an MV6 gives you 4 more BHP ....

funny, the image you showed said forbidden before but its ok now.

just had mine mot'd and passed with out any faults, these are good if looked after and can i find someone to steam clean the engine? no. not even vauxhall will do it.

just need to sort out that minor pull to the left now, i think the lazer alignment should do it.

[henryd]

I can understand why no one will steam your bay,there a lot of sensitive stuff in there
