Doubt a VR6 is gonna crap itself at 2500 rpm for a BET test

;);)

I’m pleased it’s not straightforward for you guys either, for the layman understanding this has been complex!

All part of the joys of testing Fran.

Petrol engines get it easy for the emissions test, they just have to run at around half throttle for enough time to keep the cat hot & give a stable gas reading.

Diesels have to go through a number of acceleration cycles to governed speed to measure particulate density.

There’s very little in the way of support from DVSA in the event of a diesel going pop.

castrolrob has the misfortune to test a lot of shonky old vans with starship mileges hence he can be a bit cynical – no offence rob 🤗🤗🤗

Lol I own a shonky old van (2006 SDI Caddy). If it goes pop the 2.8 goes in quicker than planned!

It will be nowhere near as shonky as some of robs munters believe me.:D

Hi fran9r & welcome to the forum.

[url=https://www.bevwo.com/][color=#000000]Below[/color][/url] is an extract from the MOT Manual, which may be useful…

If a vehicle first used on or after 1 September 2002 is fitted with a different engine, you must test it to the emissions standards for the age of the vehicle.

If an engine has been modified in any way, it still must meet the exhaust emission requirements according to the age of the vehicle.

That is excellent news, thank you. So the Golf R32 ran to [url=https://www.bevwo.com/][color=#000000]2012[/color][/url], so easily covers the years I need.
2nd Question, any change the 12v VR6 (2.8) can pass Euro 4 standards?
If so I will be a happy guy.

[Paul S]

on 2nd Question..shud do as Euro 4 commenced Jan 2005

Golf R32 was produced 2003 to 2010, depends whether its a later one or not?
