406 emission figures

On my recent MOT my emission figures where



2.81, 2.57, 2.84 as the pass limit is 3 this seems fairly close to me, how is it possible to improve the emission? Thanks Bert.

Bret From your figures I assume it is smoke emissions for a diesel you are talking about.

1) use an injector cleaner at each service.

New filters and engine oil before MoT is due. Run the fuel tank down to less than a quarter full. Put a flask of that injector cleaner jollop (it's petrol really) into the tank. Twenty minutes before the MoT appointment, hurry down the nearest ten miles of motorway and then thrash the arse out of it on the way back. Make sure the coolant temperature is up to normal (or even a bit more)Straight into the MoT centre and the reading will be so good you will receive an award for improving the environment. DaveK.

I have done this, it does work wonders
