What is a car emissions test all about?If you're a driver that is worried about adding to the air pollution levels in New Zealand, or want to take active steps to reduce the harmful emissions entering our environment, car emissions tests are for you.
Emissions testing is a series of checks completed by a qualified technician at Parnell Motors. How do you check emissions on your car, I hear you ask? Specialised equipment is used to measure the levels of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and other harmful gases produced by the engine. An exhaust pipe probe is used to measure tailpipe emissions once the vehicle is warmed up. |
Emissions standards do depend on your vehicle's age and engine type. Newer makes and models tend to have a higher efficiency rating and are also held to stricter standards. You might not be aware, but your motor vehicle actually undergoes a basic emissions test as part of your regular WOF. If your engine fails this test, your vehicle fails its WOF so it's an important element of your car being road-worthy in NZ.
What are the reasons my car might fail an emissions test?
There are a few common reason as to why your vehicle might fail a car emissions test. These include:
- Faulty catalytic converters
- Worn engine components
- Incorrect fuel mixtures
- Poorly maintained emission control systems
