emissions question ..

Post by xpress »

are the early t25's not fitted with a cat? the emissions smell a little rich at times. do the late t25's have a different exhaust design and cat?

Only the very late 2.1i (MV or SS ?) are fitted with catalytic converters.

is LPG good? oh and yea i can remember the 80s cars, in fact the t25 brings it all back which is kind of comforting and nice! i have driven a diesel and that absolutely stinks so this is better! the van was standing a lot and now it's being driven a lot more, engine pulls better, a lot quieter and the petrol smell is not nearly as bad. this pre pumping the carb a few times works well. no more stalling! :)
