Renault Clio NCT emissions fail

    Hi, my 2000 1.2 Clio failed the nct today on a few things ( The bloddy handbrake cable snaped during the test) but the big one is the emissions, it failed the high idle co @ 0.58% above 0.30% = fail.

    It got new oil and filter, air filter, spark plugs and fuel filter earlier in the week. It got a new cat last year for the nct at 155685 miles.

    does anyone have any idea's as to what could be the problem?


    Thanks

    Yeah it was a cheap universal one.

    Just to add I drove it the 25km to the test centre in 4th gear at around 3-4k rpm, the next time I think ill go in third would this be ok or will my gearbox splode:eek: . The speed limit is 80kph and about 1km of 100kph

    Spurious cats tend to have a very short lifespan. Good chance its gone again

    Thanks:), I got it looked at today and the cat is dead so I ordered another Spurious cat for €90. I think ill take it off after the retest and stick the bad one on until next year.
