i am really not sure how they can tell by looking at the obdii port if it has changed.. they i suppose can look at the date it may have been altered (software revision etc), but who is to tell you have not had work on that required it to be re-coded!
thereis no way they will know the parameters to check against so i can only assume that is the only real way to guess of an alteration to the mapping. re-chipped might be more obvious though but i am not so sure... the HID has been mentioned in the past and is the reason i decided to buy 'bright' bulbs instead and they have made a world of difference on their own on my car... |
Must admit my car dosnt see inside many proper garages, so I'm happy to pay out to confirm the cars hanging together.
I do oil and filter changes and brake pads but thats about it. Be interesting if the changes are made. :wave: |
Hasn't this done the rounds before? Remapping cannot be detected unless they have the time to download the map and compare them side by side. Anyway, why is a remap illegal? Afterall it's only the factory parameter tolerance been changed to improve fuelling, not changed to the point where emissions are running high, it's the total opposite! If it goes that far and makes a good road car illegal then I will not bother MOTing it and just leave it as an out and out track car as that is where I enjoy it the most. Trailer will be it's road wheels ;)

and how will they test pre OBD2 cars?
|
Forget about thr remaps it wont happen as its not illegal and is not dangerous, The hid teasting they have been trying to get in for ages due to being blinded by poorly fitted kits, and about time they bgot the wiring check in, I have spoke to my local mot garage and he said the remap is a joke and they only want it brought in so that it has to be declared on your insurance.

there is no remap/engine chip thing wotsit for MOT
My father is a MOT inspector and has just been on the latest course and says its not herd off. the only new thing is a car must have a cat on it at all times from now on. |
So even if i decat the 180, will the precat be ok as that passes the emmisions fine. Or should it have the full amount of cats on it, as it came from the factory?

My MGF is currently got a DECAT on it so ill have to get a cat for it again. vosa will be doing more road side checks and will be looking for people running with out cat's on. I think the 180 will be ok as mine passed just on the precat when i had it, its all to do with emmisions i think. |
