Liberty Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 My base 2006 failed on fast idle emissions Friday.I had a new exhaust for it anyway so fitted over the weekend and returned for a retest unfortunately another failure..I didn't use assembly paste because there's only the joints where it mates with the X-pipe and the new tips.I wonder if I should apply assembly paste at the manifold joint and the x-pipe and possibly the tips.. Could the manifold be the issue? Wouldn't that throw a code if it was cracked?Any advice please.. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araf Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Find another MOT tester? I may have had an MOT recently where I asked the tester "Shouldn't it be on fast idle now?" He replied "It is. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the retest unofficially so I have a few more days to try sort the leaks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Tightened the exhaust to manifold nuts and bolts.. Removed the clamps and tips and added a small amount of assembly paste.. Passed the Retest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
