Emissions tests for cars built in the 90's

Erm... I see now. I should have had my coffee and read it again before posting.

According to the flow chart, they do a BET test first based on the tighter standards and if it fails then they go on to CAT1?!?

Anyway, thanks.

Don't worry, even the testers get confused! As mine did! They always seem to run the BET test even though the car doesn't qualify for it, I think it's so they can say "well you passed the BET test so the car now has to pass the BET test in future!" Or something, I don't know and I don't think they do either!

Same as mot test emissions regs,they select from menu and do what machine tells them .

And don't forget the 1200.ppm HC reading,you can have low CO and high HC.

after you pass iva and reg your car the test std for emmissions required of your car is printed on your v5 so just take it with you to mot test

I used a pre 95 zetec that was a cat engine but run no cat.
