Hi Beav, I do now realize this after your detailed description on the other thread.
The main reason for this repair work is to get my car to pass our smog test:
www.aircare.ca standards.
I can either spend $600CDN at an approved aircare repair station, or make it pass, the test is $24.
here's a quick rundown of my last results:
Hydrocarbons(HC) g/km Max allowed: 0.5000, vehicle reading: 0.6922, Avg Passing reading: 0.2338, Result FAILED.
Carbon Monoxide(CO) Max: 9.3200, Vehicle: 7.7610, Avg:1.9412, result: PASS
Oxides of Nitrogen(NOx) Max: 1.2400, Veh: 1.9046, Avg: 0.9452, result: FAILED.
