Just looking at sebs old posts on failing nct on emissions, is mine too high for this redex treatment?

[TopCat]

You're Lambda is close to passing, its mainly your high idle idle thats off.
What I tried (post here) was "putting in 9l of normal maxol petrol (didn't have E5) and 1l E85 bio-ethanol, so roughly E10 as a result. And a good helping of Dipetane fuel treatment".

Might be worth a shot?

[kizersozey]

cheers topcat, certainly will try, but do i do this 2 days before retest? I just finished pulling out the 6 plugs, there like new and golden browne and white colour. front 3 plugs are densok20 pr-u and rear 3 plugs are ngk R bkr6e-11.....are these the right plugs?

[CJ]

You've got a mix of Denso and NGK plugs in there, not ideal. Also, they're both standard life plugs, get a set of long life Denso Iridiums from Camskill. If you want to save money, put Iridium in the rear only and stick with standard plugs in the front. I'd be dubiuos about the 3 x Densos you have in there at the minute, they don't look familair. The NGKs are fine (apart from the fact that standard life plugs have been used in the rear bank).

You're as well to get Densos all round for the sake of a few quid.

[kizersozey]

[kizersozey]

[CJ]

Yes, considering Camskill sell them for €11 a plug.

Redex petrol treatment



Denso Iridium's well worth the money, and actually cheaper in the long run, you'll (more than likely) never have to change them again.

[kizersozey]

thanks lads, i'll give camskill a buzz so great value 49euro for 6 on special offer.......and get me some redex aswell in town........have 21 days to book it in for retest anyways no rush . im actually chuffed nothing else failed on her, watching him underneath giving it a good going over in nct, but is spotless, so thats a new task for the future is to seal underneath from the elements......

[TopCat]

Cool, that is good seen as you recently bought the car and haven't had to put a load of money into it.

And no harm running some of the redex through it before hand, no point throwing some in the night before.

Guide to changing Spark plugs on V6

[kizersozey]

cheers colm,,,great guide. i allready had the back plugs out today to see wot condition they where in, i just moved plenum to one side,,,,,,,,enough for me to get at plugs comfortably, anyways im getting ngk iridiums off camskill,

[fatboyfat7]

Just to add as well if you do have to change your Lambda, the universal ones on ebay will do the job. The Mitsi ones are quite expensive and these ones are only €15 or so.

[kizersozey]

cheers mate, im using redex today for few days and then on test day,,,,,,,i'll give it a shot

[kizersozey]

just quick question lads, ive been using a full tank of full with redex treatment aswell for past few days still quarter full..,,,should i use it all before nct and have fresh petrol in tank?????? if not will they notice redex when testing imissions again. i mean like will imissions pick up on redex in the petrol or does this matter at all???

I've used Redex for years. The only stuff that actually works IMHO. never Had any probs with emissions, or it being detected, or failing.... Stick loads in and don't worry about it..

[TopCat]

Yeah, lash in a good bit of it in before hand, and drive the car over in high revs, should do the trick.

[kizersozey]

ive been trashing round motorways today to warm her up, when i stopped at home the tail pipes where too hot to touch think thats the way to have her just before test, im going to sit in car outside after i book her in, but this time spare key ( tanx chriss for that idea) to keep her up to temp before guy comes to take her in . last time she sat for 40 mins outside nct before going in, could'nt of helped when she was only warm

[mcgon1979]

u can get them on ebay (form usa) for about 7euro each including shipping. just do a search for Denso IK22 and finds he best deal.

[CJ]

just do a search for Denso IK22

For clarity purposes, IK22's suit the MIVEC models, IK20's suit the GR\GX.

anct guy told me it was the induction filter

Theres no basis in this arguement as far as I'm concerned (unless of course the kit is over-oiled which can in turn coat the MAF sensor in oil leading to an inability measure air temp).
