Volvo 850 with high emissions
Discussion
My MIL went to MOT her -93 model 850 GLE the other day, and it failed on emissions, the readings, with the allowed ones in brackets:
CO 8,3 (0,5) HC 585 (100)
CO 2500 1,8 (0,3) Lambda 0,91 (0,96-1,04)
The car drives perfectly, no smoking or poor running, no varning lights on dash. Am I totally wrong in believing that emissions like the above should be noticed in poor performance and/or other problems with the car?
Any qualified guesses on where to start? I have a spare 855 -96 to take parts from if necessary.
