Lambda spacers for LCR de-cat MOT

[drka-drka]

Just wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing.

My friend who is from the vauxual world told me about them, says they are simply a spacer that connected to the exhaust then the sensor to that. This takes the sensor out of direct airflow giving a false reading not giving you the light on the dash. Happy days!!!

Had a look on eBay and there is loads of options, so they do exist.

Anyone have any idea the thread of the lambda sensor?

My system is a Miltek

Awsome GTI sell the 42draft spacers to fit.

I don't know if the threads are different but I don't think the spacer is enough to pass through an MOT mind!!

They now do a CAT test as well as an emission test, only saying as you had MOT in your subject title.

You want the awesome one its angled and Tom on here brought the eBay and is now getting the awesome one.

It's more pricey at £25 but its worth it mine works a treat.

Yeah it's for the MOT, any idea what a CAT test involves?

I will check out these awesome ones.

I'm not to sure buddy but I have a friendly MOT tester and he asked me to change it over for the standard cat's because a new CAT test was now mandatory to do with emissions test!

He's allowed a decat before on a previous car but couldn't this time due to the new test. Sorry I haven't got any more information for you, just going by my own experience.

Depends who you know mine will pass in December with one

I will give it a go I can ask for a 'mock' test off my local garage and see what happens

 

[ReDBull]

My car past it's MOT a couple of months back with a dead cat.

The MOT CAT test, is basically if it was fitted with a CAT from factory (i.e 1992 onwards I think) It must have a CAT in place, if the MOT tester can not see the CAT it will fail, even if it passes the emmisions.

^^^^^That would make a nice burning smell strapped to the exhaust.

 

[ReDBull]

Nice *****.
I'm still not 100% on going the de cat/sports cat route. I have already thought about having a dummy cat welded on for VOSA road side checks if I go de cat. This now may also be a good idea for MOTs. As I said earlier the MOT tester had to "try" his best to get my car to pass the emissions test recently...

This is why i went 200 cell cat, no mot hastle then and vosa road side test i'll pass

 

[ReDBull]

Umm and the relentless DP and sports cats only £290 delivered.
It's just how restrictive are sports cats at stage 2?

 

[LEE69]

A little but then you're legal

 

[drka-drka]

Never thought about VOSA checks don't really get anything like that round my way so nothing for me to worry about.

Might get someone to weld a CAT looking object to my mid section haha
