MOT Emissions was created by SpeeLaT

Anyone have a problem with emissions on their Jimny. Mine Just failed Tester could not find the car let alone the Brand in the testing Database and failed the car because it could not get lower than 0.46 on CO. Mine is a 2000 bog standard. I could not find any specs for what the car should be, and assumed the tester was using generic data.

I haven't had any problems on my 2000 Jimny but I know the lambda and the cat are both now pretty old so I would expect emissions to cause me trouble at some point.

Was the car nice and hot when they did the test?
You could try some injector cleaner and often taking the car out and giving it a good thrashing just before the MOT can help too!

Also when was it last serviced?

As above, a typical reason for failure is the cat not being hot enough.

If he can't find it on his database though he's not up to much either, its not like its a rare car is it.
I do know that new regs have been introduced for fitting replacement cats so i wonder if he's just used generic data as you say. Call him and ask what he did before exploring anything else.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

Car has just been serviced and I had already done the injector cleaner thrash prior to the test. Apparently no Suzuki car is in the Emissions Database the Tester has to do a default Cat Test. This is step by step procedure set out on the testing machine itself. However the pass appears to be CO 0.30% , HC 200PPM and Lambda 0.9-1.03 all at between 2500 - 3000RPM.
It did eventually pass but only when it was done using the Default Cat Test and only just.
