Best emmisions diesel or petrol?
it's looking clear that emission esting is going to be more and more difficult with our cars. I have a 1.8t which only just scraped through the mot and I fear for its survival this time. Is there any evidence that diesel emission is easier to control. I would be happy to change to a diesel car if this is so.

Technically an EGR delete will fail, but it is under the engine cover and from the side it will most likely look like it is there. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-insp...#section-8-2-2 |

Petrol - Co2 - is an air pollutant which effects the brain (carbon monoxide is lethal in enclosed spaces) and is blamed for the "greenhouse" effect i.e. warmer climate. Diesel - NoX is lethal also in enclosed space. It is heavier than Co2 and thus is still more of an irritant even in diluted form. Those living next to a heavy tragic zone/throughway such as the South Circular will have this 'benefit'. Is certainly a long term health hazard for lung disease and conditions such as asthma (asthma cases have skyrocketed in the last couple of decades. So, the question is, do you prefer to provide the means for warmer weather and mental conditions or do you much prefer to consign an unknown number of people to a more lingering death/condition? Personally, I will be sticking to petrol until the Govt. provide electric vehicles for the disabled and/or over 66 years on subsidised terms! Kev |

Did you mean CO? for Carbon Monoxide? (or did you mean both )
