Revo Ed30 Fails MOT on Emissions
« on: June 03, 2010, 09:48:58 pm »
Well nearly....

The car is 3 yrs old at the end of the month and I thought I'd get the MOT early in case there are any issues that I can get sorted under warranty.

Anyway the car nearly failed on the emissions well technically it did but the tester gave me a pass with an advisory. The lambda reading was 1.7 and needs 1.3 to pass. It was suggested that the car was running lean.

I have REVO stage 1, dbilas intake and milltek TBE. I switched the map off and it still failed, no codes are logged with VCDS, anyone got any ideas?

Probably best that you take this up with REVO rather than a bunch of strangers guessing............................

Aye I will do that tommorrow, well with my tuner first and then REVO. Just thought I'd ask here first in case anyone else had similar.

Strangers??? I'd though we were all friends here  :grin:

Aye my tuner recommended that as well (before the test - not spoke to then since). It had been driven for about 45 prior to test, including one brief trip to the red line in 2nd. What with the 25 degrees outside I though that would be enough.
