London Low Emission Zone - Feasiblility Study

2003 Toyota Matrix because codes went on. I have no lights on instrument panel that suggest a problem. They want me to drive 100 miles an bring it back. I havn’t disconnected battery, Codes have to do with CO2 emissions. If you have 2 codes, you don’t pass. Is this for real? Or is this BS. codes on but yet emission test passed.

how often do you drive the car .also how long did the car warm up go before you brought it in computer picked up that the co2 was high only way to correct it is to drive it .get it out on the highway you won’t have to do all 100 miles on it but do at least the last 30 or so on it when you bring it back you should be fine

If you’re asking about the carbon dioxide emission limits for a European Class 4 passenger car then it is:

1.00 g/km for a petrol (gasoline) model and
0.50 g/km for a diesel.

I have a 2000 Ford Focus Lx, I took the car for a diagnostic test and it read that i needed the rear 02 sensor, so to be safe i replaced both and the car still failed. I also recently had a tune up and the EGR replaced, What could be the underlying problem?

oxygen sencer,its off the exhaust manifold,or where ever on the exhaust squirt the hell out of it with wd-40
and take it off,shouldn’t be to hard

Like catalitic converters, EGR valves, air pumps. In the US.

It is NOT illegal for the owner to modify his own car. However, it probably won’t pass required testing if it is mandated for where you live. On the other hand, it IS illegal for a shop to do it. Last I heard it was a $10,000 fine and 6 months in jail for a mechanic that does it.

map sensor might affect your smog test.

ac pressure sensor wont.

Here in McDonough, GA., to renew your tags (car tags) you must pass an emissions test. I can’t afford the cost if the needed repairs, and where I live there is no city transportation system (bus, train, or etc.). I work three miles from where I live and has already recieve a ticket for driving with exired tags. How can I get financial help with the needed repairs?

you have to go on line, not sure of the web site but there is a place to go to that can help you with the money to help with repair

I am a broke college student but need to pass stupid emissions test so i can get my registration renewed. Now my car is a ‘93 buick park avenue and every test is passing except the N0x test. does anyone know of a cheap way to make this little problem go away long enough to pass the test?

make sure your exhaust pipes are hot. The catalytic converter works better when hot.

These are non-handicap license plates on both vehicles, but an MVA-issued handicap hang tag that can be used in either car.

No. Read the rules, they are quite specific:

Disabled Citizen Waiver

Disabled citizens, with the metal disabled registration plates and whose vehicle is driven less than 5,000 miles per year, can request a waiver for the remainder of the two year test cycle. Please note: all vehicle owners must meet the requirements for the disabled registration plates to qualify. On the back of the registration notice sent to you, please indicate all owners are disabled, write the vehicle’s current mileage and send it back to the VEIP Program.

"With the metal plates" and "Driven less than 5,000 miles per year."

The EPA (environmental protection agency) lists the automobile as the largest source of pollutants in the air, and that is the reason behind the emission testing in several states, based on federal standards.

To understand their position better, see the EPA web page, and this:

And so it begins. Do you not think this is a bit rich? And where exactly are these ‘fines’ going to go to?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has opposed European Union (EU) plans to cut pollution from new cars, saying it was "not economically favourable".
She said the move would burden Germany and its carmakers disproportionately.

Under the EU proposals, carmakers that fail to meet carbon dioxide emission limits by 2012 will face fines.

Penalties will start in 2012 at 20 euros (£14.35; $28.80) per gramme of CO2 over a target level, and will grow to 95 euros in 2015.

Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the EU was "committed" to being a world leader in cutting CO2.

However, Germany’s BMW and France’s Peugeot criticised the move.

its not going to matter who opposes what, the little band of Hitlers that run the EUseless are in this for to long term profit

they are there for their good and not the peoples, if they do as they want and fine countries for emissions, it will be the EUseless that profits. all the while knowing the fines are smoke and mirrors

they may be committed ? but to what really and who?. the eruocrats will soon learn they have put themselves under a dictatorship and nothing less.

the fines will all inevitably fall on us the tax payer, until we are reduced to begging for hand out from the rest of the sensible world.

why is it 90% of the world scientists say we cant stop global warming and its side effects, that it is part of the natural evolution of the Planetary cycle. yet governments tell us we can stop it with TAX

profit and power
