High CO reading was created by jjg4
Took my car to see my friendly MOT tester today for a pre-MOT check.
He did the emissions check and found a high CO reading. All the other readings were within spec.
Anyone have any ideas about resolving this - I've seen talk of 'giving it a thrash before the test', 'using injector cleaner' etc but would like to know what has worked? I think a high CO indicates rich running, so my first check will be the air filter etc to make sure its not clogged - oh and the engine management light does not come on.
Any other experience I can learn from? Thanks

Front lambda or cat or both could be on their last legs

If no engine management light is on my money would be on the cat at a guess!
