Great suggestions, some of them never even crossed my mind. What if we make this interesting and say a modern classic for less than 3k??

Hey Guys, Just a bit of fun as I was thinking of purchasing a modern classic car. My suggestion is a 205 GTI Whats everybody else's favorites or suggestions?

Thanks for all your help and advise :)

Yes sorry CO is high. just heard back from Renault a min ago, they checked all the lambda sensors no fault on any of them. So they did a factory reset on the computer and it has now sailed through the emissions test :)

Yeh the results were a similar failure to the previous test. C02 going 1.3% this time, I didnt see the hydrocarbon reading or the lambda reading but I'm pretty sure that they passed.

Took the car to renault this morning for an Mot as they passed the emissions on their last test. Now they are saying that it has failed the mot emissions test WTF!!!!!!!!

I have a ktec cat back exhaust on mine they sound really nice but are sooooo droney on motorway journeys just thought i would point that out for you guys. I had to put a silencer in lol

I have just had my N/S lower balljoint replaced for free by Ruk even though the warranty expired in April. Cant fault them for that.

Yes I witnessed the test that failed, but not the test that Renault done.

Yeh they gave me a printout. C02 went 0.19% limit is 0.20%, hydrocarbons 38ppm, lambda 998 The printout for the failed mot went C02 1.8% hydrocarbons 368ppm and lambda 1090

Right ok, Renault have checked the lambda sensors and they say they are fine no issues, They performed an emissions test as well and according to them it passed on emissions Hmmmmm. Someone is lying lol

The car is in Renault this morning having the lambda sensors checked. I'll update later on what they come back and say

Mine may have that fault with lambda. Mine is awful on fuel doing about 20-25 mpg ATM i reckon lol

Yeh I will get it checked out by a specialist. Its not the end of the world its just very annoying that it could be so many different things. Thanks for your advice mate.

Did your lambda fault come up on the dash as an engine management fault?

No missfires or anything like that. It does feel slightly sluggish on acceleration, some white smoke is coming out of the exhaust mainly when its warming it up though. There is no remap on it completely standard map. The mech said that it could be a lack of back pressure in the exhaust system...

Im going to renault in the morning to have the N/S balljoint replaced as its badly worn because the rubbers failed common prob i think. I'll ask them to do a lambda test while im there, then that would rule that out if it comes back no fault.

The old plugs looked fine tbh changed at 21600 miles. Pretty sure the new ones that went in were the same as the old ones, the numbers on the new sparks matched the old ones. The engine was proper hot when the emission test was undertaken, it was just soooo far over it went 2.8% Co2 on fast...

It has to be one of the lambda sensors. Cant think of nothing else.

The emissions just keeping going sky high. and I have no ideas as to why.
