EddieA - can you PM some more details about the garage please? Is your friend the only MOT tester there?

Thanks

Will the car pass an MOT emissions wise as long as the car has been mapped properly?

Can't we all just get defeat devices fitted? That's assuming we don't have them already  :evilgrin:

With a de-cat it will always fail.

Mine passed earlier this month with a decat, that was because I am friends with te mot tester... And it's local to Basingstoke as I am in Andover. Surprisingly mine was only just over the emissions limit with the decat fitted.

Thats interesting

So by your post it seems these cars are quiet efficent as it is, and the cat doesnt have much work to do to reduce the emissions.

Oh right that might be that sensor that VW put in lol

Wasnt the sensor to cheat a test at idle or underload in neutral?
