me bx 19tzs petrol failed the bloody mot on emissions CO

max limit is 3.500 my reading was 4.170

reckon its something to do with the diesel i put in the car by mistake when we went to vannys a couple of weeks ago

although of course it might not be

sooo

if i remember right i put in about 10 lt of diesel in but then brimmed it with petrol
car ran but with smoke
then ran it till the empty fuel light came on and put 5lt in
ran this till empty light came on and some more,
put another 5lt in and ran till light came on

by now it had stopped smoking and was running ok ish

put half a tank in and changed the small in line fuel filter

never had a problem with emissions before soooo

later on today will change the spark plugs

what else do i need to check/do

and yes i know im a twat already so fuck off

[David]

I'm surprised the mot centre didn't just tweak the idle mixture down a bit for such a small amount over. If you know which the idle mixture screw is, just wind it in 1/4 of a turn. 4.1 CO is indeed a bit rich, but it's not drastic.

Changing the plugs may well help a bit, as might changing the oil. Far easier just to tweak the carb though.

AIR FILTER!!!?

[mickey taker]

funny that , I was going to say air filter as well ,:lol:but not quite so loud

[Philhod]

Well the miserable bastard, he must have been having a bad day. unless you had already pissed hiom off.
That`s hardly anything... less than one point up. He really should have adjusted it for you The TZI we had used to go through at about 2

My TXD dirty diesel goes through every year at about 0 .6 <smirk>
As for cures? I think the lads have covered it

[charlie]

have changed the oil, air filter, plugs and tweaked the idle mix down

and have played with me lamp

since the mot man cant see it till monday will clean the carb out as well

to be fair under a bit of revs it did smoke and stink a bit

just wondering wether i had this problem before the diesel and just hadnt noticed

and by the way bandit did fuck all again to help

[Bx Bandit]

I did indeed do fuck all as it's what I'm best at after all!!!!....although i do make a good spanner monkey and I'm superb at going Hmmm, I rekon it's fucked mate...........

[charlie]

well thats what i put didnt i

why dont you just repeat everythin i say cos yer

one lazy monkeyied spannered its fucked matey hmmmmmer banditoooo

she not a ladybird



ohhhh i feel better now

[Philhod]

Now children stop spitting dummies out.

At least long enough to listen up
1. Is the smoke appearing at high throttle, in a steady stream, or is it only appearing on overrun and what colour is it

2. Make sure the engine has been run for at least 1/2 an hour before the test, and make sure he warms it up properly before taking a reading, if it`s been stopped for more than 20 mins. One of the most common things I pull them for is testing too cold and holding the high rev too long plus not pressing the end test button before it goes into overrun Keep an eye on him while the test is on. If it fails again and your not happy tell him
But don`t start quoting me (I`ve got a mate etc) or you`ll only upset him
or is it a her?

Dose of redex wouldn`t do any harm poured straight into the carb intake while it`s running

[charlie]

every thing now seems ok

mind you its one of those faults that you dont really know youve fixed until they retest

and thats on monday

[charlie]

car flew through its retest with a co reading

of 0.832

not quite in phils league of 0.6

but then hes an old twat who got lucky :

so now its back to the xm

[Bx Bandit]

'so now it's back to the xm' he says........

what about your poor little bx, always giving faithful service

and you toss it aside like some used wench

poor little cream machine

Less of the young....and more of the cunt
