My daily jeep ( 2006 l200 2.5 diesel) went to mot and came back with a red cart. Problem... the exhaust particels are to high ( not co but they mesure the no of particels) so i have pourd in some bardal okco to reduse it ( anti pollution stuff ) had a drive on the main road 120 in 4th so it makes 4200 rpm at 120 kmh now tomorrow i have to go back to the mot.
So i also made a knob under the gaspedal so that the pedal only can travel 2/3ths of the way in ( here they test it by putting the car in neutral and just floor the car 5 seconds 3 times in a row now mather how much it goes beyond the red range the idea is that the engine will get a full burst of diesel injection) and took out the air filter since i cant do anything about the pump of how much diesel it gives and so it will breath more free. Although it had a new filter only 200 miles ago. ( only a 10 mile drive to mot station so not worried that much about dust)

What do you people think? Will it help?
Jeep only has 85000 miles on the clock.

prety sure most have a standing idle limiter, what you suggest of restricting the throttle movement should wotk

So no idea what helped the most but from 6 out of 10 to 0.4 out of 10 legal limit for my jeep is 3.5 out of 10. ( what makes it a euro 6 car i guess) and max rpm with flooring it was 3800 rpm... 😉

Not sure what regulations you have in Belgium, but in Netherlands 2006 cars (my A4) don't need to go through this test anymore.

Dazed and Confused....

In belgium every car get abused. Even the ones with special filters. While it is perfectly posible to put a diagnostic computer on it instead of reving the shit out of it.

You can do forced regeneration on the dpf for most cars.

I find it a pain in the ass, in the UK you can get away with removing the exhaust, cut open the dpf and remove the inner and get the software mapped out. But we only have a visual inspection of this. But new April 2017- will have to do a test like Belgium 9n their mot's

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

most correct way to me would be on rolls. engine under load into the normal max rev range. not free spinning way into the dangerous red zone. multiple cars who were doing no problems at all came back from mot here with damaged engine. often higher mileage cars but driven like old people drive them. and if you all the sudden go pushing them like that.... you can expect damage.
