My W Reg (2000) 1.2 punto has failed it's MOT on CO emissions. We had the same problem last year and sent it to the local FIAT dealer who eventually fitted a new ECU, it went back to MOT test centre failed again. Then the FIAR dealer put it through it's MOT which it passed (very odd).
Now it's gone back to the dealer with the same fault as last year a CO emissions reading of 0.6 on the high revs test. The dealer says that they've replaced the lamda sensor and cat convertor (from a donor car) which slightly lowered the emissions but not enough for it to pass.
Now they want to try a new ECU (although they replaced it last year). If it's not that they are saying they need to start taking the engine apart, and have mentioned something about the head gasket.
Has anyone got any ideas what could be wrong? I don't trust the dealer at all as they said they'd fixed the same problem last year when they hadn't.
Sorry the post is so long
