Mine has been through an 'MOT' test at a friends garage, and whilst not needing an MOT it flew through the visible smoke test - he commented that it was alot cleaner than most 1.9tdi's![]()

I carnt see why it would have a problem because (And please correct me if im wrong) arent the Emissions and Smoke test done while ideling rather than under load?
If they where done under load then people like T.Spark would have problems as his fills the air with smoke

I've watched an MOT on a diesel and they did indeed redline it in neutral a few times. I guessed this was the smoke test.
It got me thinking about what would happen if the engine had not ever been redlined and it was getting on a bit and the cam belt failed whilst they were doing this.![]()
I know of a garage close to me that blew up an Fabia VRS on the smoke test at MOT time. Throttle jammed open somehow and it just rev'ed till it went bang. Rods through the block too, proper job! Not sure what happened afterwards though!
they do actually take them right to the rev limiter several times....Im sure ive read of others having the same problem, one of the reasons I wouldnt consider having it done just yet.... wait for all you guinea pigs to have the worries
My FR (dpf delete) is smoking badly. On accelleration, when foot lifts from pedal AND low revs. Its also idling at 1000rpm. Do you think the ECU is trying to regen the DPF and not managing it cos its not there?
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers
