timmaaah 0 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) HI all. Car went for it's ticket last month and failed on a few things, one of which was emissions. Below is the supplied printout. It's a 94 vr Any ideas on how to sort this out? The car failed on corroded brake pipes (easy fix (replacement) I guess?), brake imbalance across rear axle (seized calliper I guess?) seized rear load sensing valve (wd40 and jump up and down in the boot?) plus damaged windscreen. In the past I would have just given it to a garage and said fix it. Unfortunately that isn't an option at the moment due to monetary issues. I really want to get this sorted as if not the car will just sit about deteriorating. The car is my every day car, but I don't do a lot of miles. I think I did about 4k since the previous ticket. I don't have vag-com, nor do I know anyone with it. I'd really appreciate some help on the emissions. Cheers Edit - for some reason the wires connecting the lambda sensor look like a mess - the wires have come out of the car's plug/socket, so have been botched in place. It's been like that for at least the last 11 years (how long I've owned the car lol). Edited October 22, 2015 by timmaaah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 22, 2015 Knackered lambda I reckon. Personally I would replace that section of the loom as well as the sensor. ~ 2500rpm is where you tend to notice it's lack of operation the most on the emissions machine and generally a flat spot on the road at that rpm too.

akacheesy 0 Posted November 6, 2015 I'd second that, or possible exhaust manifold. My first 'rado had an emissions issue which a new lambda sensor didn't fix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
