emission levels

[beast5680]

does anyone know of a website that gives emission levels for vehicles? looking on the vosa site it only gives new vehicles, is there one for older stuff?

[bezzabsa]

doubt it - due to varaitions over age / mileage etc.. if there is 1 it will probably only give manufacturers specs from new

I think this is true  First used before 1/8/1975 - Visual test only. Failure for excess idle speed, dense blue or black smoke for 5 seconds at idle or during acceleration  up to 2500rpm or half engine max speed whichever lowest.
First used between 1/8/75 and 31/7/86 - meter test CO <=4.5%, HC<=1200ppm.
First used between 1/8/86 and 31/7/92 - meter test CO<=3.5%, HC<=1200ppm.
First used between 1/8/92 and 31/7/94 - advanced emission test (CAT) if its running on petrol when presented, to the vehicle specific limits usually around CO<=0.3%, HC<=200ppm and Lambda 0.97 - 1.03.  Remember from 1st August 2001 a basic emission test will be carried out initially.

Hope this helps... :?
