Can somebody advise me what the emissions should be for my 6 June 2008 Doblo 1.9 Multijet 105 please?
Last year the desk at the MOT test said it failed miserably, l did say l was surprised, but he said it was "well over what it should be" and l'm sure he said 1.5.
He sold me a bottle of Fortes, l ran it as needed for an hour took it back and it passed, but no readout was given to me for fail or pass.
When l got home l checked online, and in the current 19th Ed of in service emission tests for road vehicles it has three levels for passenger vehicles.
One for cars before Aug 1 1979, visual assessment
The next for cars between 1 Aug 1979 and 1 July 2008, should be below 3.0
The last for cars after July 1 2008, and that is below 1.5
I think they tested mine in the third category in error, and may have been why they never gave me the test readout, but l want to be prepared this time in case it is again failed. (It never smokes in normal use, only when the EGR works when it goes for a gallop out of town once in a while, which l do before each MOT)
It's had a full engine service and a dose or Kerapor, and that sure did clear it out.
Hope somebody can guide me on this?
Thanks
