Hi to all...
I have a barchetta from December 1995. Please can someone inform me does it has EURO 3?
Thank you!
 
My question pop up because the regulative for EURO3 for the light commercial vehicles pop up at January 2000. So does the Barchetta fill full the regulative before it came up?
 
Hi Aleks,

According to the Barchetta Lexikon, early barchettas complied with Euro 2 emissions standards (regulation EG 94/12), and since some time in 1997 (the Lexikon is unsure of the exact date) they also complied with the newer, stricter Euro 3 standards.

Link to the relevant page (in German):

It does not matter whether or not your barchetta has a third brake light because brake lights are governed by different regulations than engine emissions.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Giorgio
 
Hi everybody, I'm new of this forum and I'm doing a first tour on it.

The easier and sure way to know if your car is Euro 2 or Euro 3 is see how many lambda probe you have.
Euro 2 has just one lambda probe, before the catalyst.
Euro 3 has two lambda probe, the first before the catalyst, the second after.
A barchetta from dec.95 is surely Euro 2.
