How long was the car driven before the test, and where?

5cyl or 6cyl Audi 90?
Modifications?

drive just before retesting. Rev your car right up to redline a couple of times. Also you might want to try and add some fuel addatives (don't know which ones?).

The hard drive will clean out deposits and can make a big difference on an emission test.

My S4 (with piggies downpipes) failed on idle last month because I was driving it like a ***** for 2 weeks after I had my RS4 clutch installed.

The mechanic gave me this advice and I retested and passed with flying colours. Go figure.

Last time I went for a test I threw in a bottle of that stuff from Canadian Tire that guarantees you to pass. Cant remember what its called. Might be a bunch of crap but I passed.

I should have got out there this winter. Global warming or whatever you want to call it is wreaking havoc with snow lovers.

Thy loving smoothness and torqueness shall follow me all the days of my driving and I will dwell in the house of the V6 Bi-Turbo forever.
