MOT Test fail - emissions :/

Recommended Posts

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).

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.
