New MOT - unclebeast - 20-05-2018
what does this mean for the xud9a and especially xud9te re visible smoke?
RE: New MOT - Toms306 - 20-05-2018
Not much...you're still allowed up to 3.0 for TD and 2.5 NA on the smoke test.
The new regs affect modern cars with DPFs really. Yesterday I was allowed 1.5 on my Focus, now it's only 0.55!

See here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mot-changes-20-may-2018
The changes are only applicable to cars with a dpf, something that came in a good 6 years after the 306 ceased production.

Essentially the same rules... bar the dpf smoke thing (load of rubbish as brand new dervs with dpfs can/do smoke) and reverse lights.
Just scaremongers imho.

Nope, it just has a cat. People weren't bothered by particulates back then, CO was the enemy!
DPFs started to be fitted as standard in around 2004 for road cars. But weren't mandatory until Euro 5 emmisions in 2009.
