Well...Piglet passed.



I was worried about emissions but...



is



at 2750rpm - 0.05 c02 and 5ppm good?



at natural idle


0.13% co2.

When you compare with the emmissions from somw areas of the world I would hazard a guess that yours is pretty good.

I assume you mean CO... and yes, pretty good. what's it meant to be?

When my 110 1998 is tested the ticket shows max allowed at 0.3 % ?? , depends on revs at time and oil temp comes into it somehow.

0.3% and 200ppm are limits for the 1997.

That's what it is, I got it in Jan 98 but it was built 97 i think, so that would be right,

incidentally apart from changing oil and air filter just before the test how else can I reduce the emmissions. Last MoT showed 4 runs, 1 fail and 3 passes.

I've had a few jap cars in, that the emmisions tester won't detect to start so i've had to rev the vehicle to get it going result CO - 0.00% HC - 001ppm and CO 0.00% at idle Personally I like a vehicle to have a bit more "smoke" I think vehicles this clean are getting too much power for too little fuel so engine is more stressed IMHO

well, maybe, but I assume they're designed for it.
