sorry about the bad news buddy, at least its nothing too serious tho!

before you start repacing bit imo i'd get it hooked up to the diag machine and have a look at what fault codes are showing up, dont want to be replacing bits willy nilly when they dont need to be replaced

other than that my first port of call would be the lambda sensor as that could be faulty

when was it last serviced?

what i use to do for mine was take my inlet pipe off and spray carb cleaner on and into my TB to clean all the black sute and crap off, might not do alot but every little bit helps :lol:

or it could be a sensor playing up causing it to over fuel

When my 1.1 mk3 failed an MOT on emissions, the garage put some engine cleaning stuff in it called forte and that sorted it. They said that any sort of petrol additive like redex, for example, would do the trick too. Put some in and give the car a burn along a motorway and it would clean the engine up, improving the emissions.

Also, as terry said, lambda sensor renewal also! 8-)

i had the same on my mot sheet as well as other thing's but funds ran out and now all i need to do is sort out the same problem as this could it be corsed because my MAF was blocked at the time and it was just cleaned out about 4 miles before the mot so could the ecu be over fuleing still corsing this?
