CALICO 130 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 It can pass the emisions ok but legal requirement's it should have one fitted its upto the tester as to wether or not they fail it for not having one fitted Link to post Share on other sites

Rustyman 0 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 How come do they reset the equipment then for not CAT fitted cars ??? Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 They put the vehicles age and model into the computer system, this knows wether there should be a cat or not, then they stick the probe up the pipe and do the test.......with a "kind/nice" tester the test can be modified!!!!!! to seem like it was done with cat in place!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get to knowan MOT tester...one of my best mates is an MOT tester I do him favours on his motorbike, he looks after my car (nudge nudge) Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 they dont care if it has a cat or not if it passes !! mine did others havent there isnt a hard or fast rule tbh mate but I would expect it to fail without a cat - I was and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't !!

gavinvr6 0 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 if it goes in as a mk3 vr it's tested as a mk3 vr, and i beleive they all had/have cat's. the cat is just there to reduce emmision's. if you can get them low enough, then it'll pass as the cat is not needed to reduce the emmisions. most tester's dont care if the cat is there or not so long as the emmisions aint stupidly high. just ask the bloke to go easy on it. i usually do and just end up with a slightly longer list of advisories and a bill for a new bulb or some thing silly as apposed to fail's Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 technically a properly tuned car should pass on emissions even without a cat Link to post Share on other sites
